Arrow Crab
Scientific Name: Stenorhynchus seticornis
Small Fish Safe: With caution – may prey on very small or weak fish
Invert Safe: No – known to eat small shrimp, worms, and other inverts
Coral Safe: Yes
Adult Size: Up to 10 cm body (legs span much larger)
Diet: Carnivore – scavenger that eats worms, detritus, and small inverts
Why We Like It:
The Arrow Crab brings a truly alien look to the reef, with its long spindly legs and pointed rostrum. While useful for controlling bristleworms, it can become opportunistic and may attack small tankmates. Best suited to FOWLR or mixed reef setups with robust livestock. Not for peaceful nano reefs, but a striking and functional addition for advanced hobbyists.
