When it rains!

Man when it rains it pours. Recently I spotted a bristleworm while taking night shots. Concerned about this becoming a problem, I rushed right out and purchased an arrow crab. Assured that they are reef safe and friendly to inverts and fish! So I cheerfully put him into our tank to start his work. Immediately upon placing him in, he starts plucking at our new star polups 
Ok so maybe he just found something in there, no worry. Well a few days later I awake to see my favorite fish floating, with no apparent reason. Now if this isn't bad enough, later that day, I look in the tank only to discover 
it is killing one of my emerald crabs. So I get on the net and research these villains and discover that some have a tendancy to enjoy reaking havoc on small guys by stabbing them. 
I learned my lesson on that one. Ok it Really needs to stop raining now.
