I have a 10 gallon reef setup with 1 clown gobie, 1 bicolor blennie, many inverts, and minimal corals (clove, rics, shrooms).
I was just curious, at what stage does a crab become too large for a tank of this size? I'm sure there is no standard, but I wanted to ask because recently, I noticed that one of my crabs has been somewhat disturbing my corals.
I have a zebra hermit that is now approximately 1 inch in diameter. If he even walks on a ricordea, the ricordea gets all shriveled up. I don't think that it is necessarily damaging the corals, but it seems to be bothering them quite a bit.
Should I give the crab back to the LFS?
