Can Acro crabs switch species?

[spinycheek]

My colony of unidentified light blue acro is dying and will probably be toast in the next day or two. It was fine until a botched attempt at selling it :numbness:

The little crab that lives in it will be without a home as a result. I have a A. millepora colony and a small A. gemmosa colony, so I'm wondering if the crab can move to either of those and be ok. The millepora is much more branched with wide spaces in between than the crab's current colony and the gemmosa just doesn't have much real estate for a crab.

On a related note, does anyone need an acro crab?

Where do you live? If your crab doesn't find a home in your other corals, I am interested

How's the crab doing?

Still in old acro skeleton, curious if he'll move to the next one over or not.

If you are interested, perhaps we should just set something up. I'm planning on selling my other Acros anyways.

It looks like the crab has taken up residence in the adjacent pink millepora colony. I'm glad it's adaptable!
