H hegi Jul 20, 2008 #11 Here's some info on them Poseidon and Marc: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1386415&highlight=zebra+crab Apparently they feed exclusively on urchin tissue. Several people in this thread have been able to keep them alive by keeping 2+ urchins so they don't kill their host.
