Red Spotted Guard Crabs Trapezia tigrina

[Samw]

I got a couple of red spotted guard crabs (Trapezia tigrina) which I thought would host in my Acroporas. However, I noticed in the store that they were kept in the SPS tank but they did not host in the Acros. So it wasn't too surprising that they aren't hosting in my Acroporas either. I never see them now except at night when lights are out. After reading more, I see that they are more associated with Pocillipora corals.

What are other people's experiences with these crabs? Do they host in your Pocilliporas? I'm thinking of getting a Pocillipora colony just to host these crabs.
