shaywood Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does anyone have experience with sand sifting crabs in a reef tank? I don't see them offered locally for sale. Is there a reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does anyone have experience with sand sifting crabs in a reef tank? I don't see them offered locally for sale. Is there a reason? They look very similar to the Emerita sand crabs found off our own coast. http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/living_species/print.asp?inhab=528 Even if they are a tropical/sub-tropical species, I believe that they are more of a filter-feeder, rather than a sand-sifter! http://item.express.ebay.com/LIVE-SALTWATER-aquarium-sand-sifting-crab-FOR-REEF-tank_W0QQitemZ140255387799QQihZ004QQcmdZExpressItem These are probaby caught by digging in the sand at the beach down in Los Angeles.
