Its coloration typically consists of a whitish or tan body covered in fine dark lines, with its long legs sometimes banded with red, yellow, or brown, and its claws tipped with striking blue or violet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eArrow Crab\u003c\/strong\u003e is a relatively hardy and long-lived addition to a mature saltwater system, but its opportunistic and territorial nature requires careful consideration when selecting tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch4\u003eDiet \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Arrow Crab is an opportunistic Carnivore \/ Scavenger. Its natural diet includes small invertebrates, detritus, and worms.

It will not consume most corals, but a hungry or large specimen may pick at soft corals, zoanthids, or mushroom polyps while searching for small prey or detritus.

Do not house two Arrow Crabs together in tanks under 75 gallons, as they will often fight to the death.
