Are there any crabs that don't get along?

[kcobain111]

I have 2 Emerald crabs in my tank right now are there any crabs that i cannot put in? I would like a boxer crab and a porcelin crab and possibly a Hawian Strawberry crab. Is there any reason i cannot add these all to my tank.

Anyone know at all? I wanted to get a few different crabs.

I have emerald, Arrow and sally light foot. so far they get along. todd

I have 10 hermits
1 emerald
1 sally light foot "I guess the other 2 died"
1 arrow crab
3 pep shrimp
And they all get along. I am going to beef up my crab crew when I get some more money.

my arrow crab bit both the claws off my anemone crab
so, it would be safe to say that they do NOT get along. :nope:

Porcelain crabs mostly need anemone hosts and super water quality. Boxer crabs (pom-pom crabs?) usually carry anemonies around for defense. Strawberry hermits get kinda big to be generally considered reef safe and might eat your emeralds.
I would stick to the "dwarf" type hermits for your crabby denizens. Scarlet Hermits and blue leg hermits are two that are readily available. Some ppl say the blues are aggressive toward other hermits and snails but I haven't seen that in my tank at all.
