Hello,
So, I recently noticed spider webs forming in the coconut hut but thought maybe they were mold growth but then my suspicions were confirmed when I saw a small spider in the tank, crawling down from the hood. I don't know if the spiders are harmful to the crabs but regardless I want to prevent them from getting into the tank.
Any suggestions?

I get tiny ones sometimes, but they never seem to cause any problems.

Spiders follow food. If there’s nothing there for it to eat it’ll eventually leave.

Re: Spiders In The Tank
I guess the spiders might help if you have a lot of aphids. :shrug:
