er kann gut so wie auch schlecht sein, wenn die Koralle genügend Schleim produziert um ihn zu ernähren ist er ok sogar gut für die Koralle, wenn nicht, dann frisst er das gewebe.bei großen Koralle ist er öfters ok bei kleinen also nicht.

Es gibt neue (2013) Erkenntnisse über die Krabbe, laut Wissenschaftler soll diese doch nicht schädlich sein, sondern den Korallen helfen.

Für schädlich gehaltene haarige Krabben helfen Korallenriffs:

Hi, dieses kleine Krabbe habe ich mit einer Koralle gekauft, nach kurzer Zeit hat Sie die Koralle gewechselt und frass von meiner A.Tricolor direkt die Polypen ab. Sie ist sehr gut an den blauen Augen und dem bereits hier abgelegten Bild zu erkennen.
Ach von mir, unbedingt rausfischen ! DM
