I am wanting to sell this only because i plan on introducing snails into my tank, since i have had this crab i have noticed he enjoys eating bristleworm, Cyno (red hair algae), flake food and any frozen meaty foods you feed your fish. I have sexed the crab as a male. He has never been aggressive to any of my fish or corals. Very good cleaner (he's to only cleaner in my tank, and it's pretty much spotless).
Price £15's and Local Delivery Available (3 mile Radius of ASDA Stanley) or Collection Only.
