Emerald Crab---Sally Lightfoot

[vpotts28]

Will the sally lightfoot and emerald crab co-exist. I have two emeralds, and want to add a sally lightfoot, but will not if they will harm each other. TIA

hehe the sally is probably the hardest worker in my clean up crew. i have two mythrax crabs, they are stronger though. one mythrax and my sally had a tug of war on a dead clam last night, and the mythrax dragged the shell AND the sally across the sand bottom.

Just what I wanted to hear

Gone is another $10-20 dollars.
They are fish friendly as well? I know my emeralds like to take a swipe at the super nassarius snails I have if they get to close.

some people say the sally can and will jump on fish when they get older, but mine's been in the tank for almost a year now and i don't see it going near my fish. also, i did have to put a LARGE mythrax crab into my fuge because it pinched me and broke skin and was waving its claws at the fish.

hmmmm, you are making me think twice. Even if you haven't had a problem, you may be a lucky one.

Great color on that crab renogaw. Huge, as big as the deflector on that ph.

I don't know if you got to see my post about the emerald crab in the beginners section. It is up near the top of the page. The mating ritual they were going through. Bizarre to say the least.
