We recommend a combination of Reef Snow with the plankton substitutes Tropic Marin Phyton and Zooton.
Reef Snow is the combination of smaller particulates that are bonded by a biopolymer and can create larger strings and flakes. Tropic Marin Pro-Coral Reef Snow is designed to aid the naturally occurring process to produce a natural coral food in your aquarium. Most coral reefs have a high amount of biopolymers available and in household aquariums that amount may not be as concentrated and by using Tropic Marin Reef Snow with other particulate foods like Zooton and Phyton, you will be able to mimic the natural concentration leading to more food for your coral and a cleaner aquarium.
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.
