Are these all safe crabs

[srgvigil]

Hey guys,
Right now I'm researching fish and invertebrates for my aquarium. You know making sure everything is compatible. I was wondering about these crabs. Are they all pretty safe to keep and can they be kept with each other
The list I have right now is:
boxing crab
blueleg hermit
decorator crab
halloween hermit crab
hawaiian zebra
and the jade hermit
Also can you tell me how many of each I could get. I obviously would only want one boxing crab. thanks in advance

These all seem pretty good. How big is your tank and how many of each are you thinking about? Will you have a lot of rock where they can crawl around a bit?

55 gallons
and yeah i'll have plenty of live rock. I was thinking like 2 or 3 of each

In that sized tank I think they do fine. I have a tank where I keep a bunch of different inverts. Very cool to watch. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too.
Take care man.

In my 55g, the crustaceans I have are- 10 blueleg hermits, 10 jade hermits, and 10 scarlet hermits along with an arrow crab, a blueleg pistol shrimp, a fire shrimp and a gold coral banded shrimp.
