Never add these to your tank if you can avoid it, it’s the bane of my existence. Every time I remove 1, 2 more show up. Yeah sure they clean stuff that other things can’t access but that’s about their only draw. They are ugly, hurt you if you touch them, and very prolific. Always dip your corals and remove as much rock as possible from frags or else you will get these suckers! Go check out arrow crabs if you want a natural way to remove these pests 0/10, these are the worst, always stealing food intended for my goby/pistol shrimp
