Crab Compatibility

[jennln]

Is it okay to house both emerald crabs and pom pom (boxing) crabs in the same tank?

The emerald might become agressive to the pom pom when the emerald becomes large. How big is the tank?

I have two emeralds in my 55 and picked up a pom pom today. Ideally I'd like to put him in the 55 or if that's not a good mix I can put him in my nano with a cleaner shrimp and snails. I just wasn't sure if there was a possiblity of agression between the two types of crabs.

Oh yes, there can be. I would put him in the other tank to be on the safe side.
