Are these acro crabs....

These two started out really small and were living in a specific SPS, that one died they moved and after watching them they seemed to of been eating the SPS, but hard to tell.

nope. black-clawed are almost always of the Family xanthidae. Look up the non-scientific reef hobby name "gorilla" crab and compare pics.

definitely not an acro crab.

Well guess I screwed that up. I always dip and have seen these dead in my bucket so not sure where these came from but they cost me 2 nice SPS pieces. Off to the FUGE they go, or should i just toss them.

Fuge it. Can't hurt anything down there.
