I just got one in a colony I picked up today. They don't require "target" feeding, they will live off of what the coral provides and any fish food that gets stuck in their coral. I read somewhere that they will die if removed from their "home". This is the only coral I have that has one so we'll see if this colony does any better that the others in my tank.

Acro crabs come in several shades & colours. They hunt at night and scavenge about. In the day they generally stay tucked away and try to prevent the coral from predators.

Untamed, I think your picture would be a great entry for the July POTM contest.

Here is a picture of one of my acro crabs.
