Preparations:
The use of a quarantine tank is highly recommended. No water changes, pH or temperature adjustments are necessary if the readings are within the ideal range (Freshwater pH 6.4 - 7.6 / Saltwater 8.0 -8.4, temperature 68ÌŠ to 82ÌŠ F). Remove all chemical filtration (carbon, ion exchange resins) both before and during use and turn off any UV sterilizers if present during treatment. Aeration and water flow should be maintained throughout the process. In marine aquariums turn off protein skimmer during treatment and resume use only after completion of treatment.
The active ingredients in Fritz ParaCleanse can negatively affect beneficial bacteria which helps to remove harmful ammonia and nitrite from water. Testing for ammonia and nitrite is recommended. Chemical ammonia removers such as Fritz Aquatics A.C.C.R. may be used during the treatment to prevent ammonia poisoning of the aquatic inhabitants of your tank. Note: Fritz ParaCleanse
Will not color or cloud aquarium water.

Feeding & Diet
Feeding & Diet
An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.
Care & Water Parameters
Care & Water Parameters
The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.
Size & Growth
Size & Growth
Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
