Stenorhynchus seticornis |
Comical in shape and behavior, for the most part unassuming,
the Caribbean Arrow Crab, Stenorhynchus seticornis can be an
asset in its predatory consumption of flatworms and Polychaetes (e.g.
Bristleworms). Like almost all crabs, this decapod is an
opportunistic omnivore, that though it's apparently small, appears
passive, can and will sample other invertebrates, even fishes if it can
grab them.
Stenorhynchus seticornis (Herbst 1788), the Caribbean Arrow Crab. Not to be trusted with small to medium fish tank-mates (may spear with rostrum, otherwise consume). Safe with hardy native corals and anemones, larger fishes. A small individual in Belize and one at wholesalers shown. |
