Default Zoro Crab good or bad for Acro?
I picked up a nice big piece of Acropora coral a three days ago. Its doing fine but I noticed a little Zorro crab living within the Coral. Should I leave it or get ride of the crab?

leave it.....its an acro crab that is beneficial to the coral....they ward off intruders and keep the colony clean.....

It's a smooth crab with a black band across it's face... i.e. "Zoro Crab"
