Arrow crabs have been known to kill small to medium fish, shrimp, crabs and assorted other things you paid good money for: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/stenorhynchus.htm

They are predatory.

This is hilarious. I just checked Drs. Foster & Smith's website to see if they gave a warning on arrow crabs. Ha! According to them it is a "semi-aggressive carnivore" but it is "reef compatible." http://www.etropicals.com/product/pr...45&pCatId=1341

That's a joke.

Run a search on Reef Central using "arrow" as your search term and limiting your search to titles only so as to avoid too many off-topic threads and you will get dozens of reports of arrow crabs eating all sorts of stuff that cost you money.

That's a joke.
To even call it "Semi-" Agressive is like calling "The Predator" Semi-Agressive.
