birds nest question! please answer quickyl

[eSoteric]

I have done reading on this coral alot this week, i know that they do tend to have crabs live in them, im wondering if anyone can describe them to me. I see 3 very small redish looking crabs that seem to have a soft exterior. Is it safe to place these in my tank? do i have to worry about them moving and stalking fish/corals. they are rather small. answers ASAP. as it is dripping in now.

Your best bet is to do a dip before you put it in your tank. I am hesitant as to introduce anything strange into my main tank.

eh, dont worry i did more reading im almost certain these little red critters are living (pardon my spelling) symbiotically withing the birds nest feeding off alage. Great coral though, pink and already open!
