Calico Crab just died, why?
i'm trying to understand why my calico crab i just bought two days ago died on me.
I had him in the sump (fuge) area. the flow is kind of slow, could that of caused it to die. I have four emerald crabs in the DT thats doing fine. very confused. did a water test right after i put him in, everything was good. any ideas or was it just my bad luck? LFS has no guarantees

It was probably already stressed when you bought it and the move was the last straw. Sadly the mortality of freshly collected animals is way too high.
