About this invertebrate
About this invertebrate
Arrow Crab; Atl. – Stenorhynchus seticornis is an Atlantic marine crab recognized by its narrow, pointed body and exceptionally long, slender legs. It is a carnivorous scavenger and hunter that may help reduce nuisance bristleworms, but it is not a selective pest-control animal: it may also capture other small worms or invertebrates. Consider its feeding habits when deciding whether it suits a community or reef aquarium, and provide a secure saltwater habitat appropriate for a mobile crab.
Features:
- Long legs and a pointed body give this crab a distinctive shape among aquarium invertebrates.
- It scavenges and hunts for animal-based food, including worms and other small prey.
- It may eat nuisance bristleworms, though it can also prey on desirable small invertebrates.
- Its predatory feeding makes compatibility with small tankmates and ornamental invertebrates an important consideration.
Specifications:
- Animal group: Marine crab; invertebrate.
- Scientific name: Stenorhynchus seticornis.
- Origin indicated by shop name: Atlantic.
- Care guidance: General guidance: maintain a stable saltwater aquarium and assess tankmates for vulnerability to a carnivorous crab. No morph-specific care information is implied.
- Temperament and diet: Predatory and scavenging; eats animal-based prey, including worms and small invertebrates.
- Compatibility: Use caution with small ornamental invertebrates and other potential prey; individual feeding behavior may vary.
