will my arrow crab eat any of my livestock?

I may be wrong, but I've never heard of an arrow crab being aggresive. I know most crabs are opertunistic feeders, but I've never heard a negative thing about arrows.

I've heard they may eat feather dusters and other tube worms.

I'm sorry, I guess I was talking about fish. I didn't think about inverts.

I've always heard that they will eat bristleworms, cleaners, featherdusters, and any small crabs or shrimp they can overpower. Even fish i guess. But everyone i've ever talked to has told me they keep them in a reef and have never had them kill anything. But i think its kinda up to the arrow's personallity. Hopefully you'll get some feedback cuz i'd like to know as well.
