:help: 2 emerald crabs in a 30?

[jimmy 4]

Are 2 emerald crabs in a 30 gallon too much? I have about 20-29 lbs of live rock, and some macro algea in my DT.
I do have a lot of hermits, but plan on reducing thier numbers.

IMO......I think that you will be fine. I believe the can get to 2.5" and don't add much to the bioload.

heck ... I had 2 in a 10 gallon, when I had my nano.

Yes, you'll be fine

If you plan on having zoo's, mushrooms, corals, etc., just be aware that they will pick at them and crawl all over them...

I have 2 in my 29 gallon, and my girlfriend has 2 in her 10 gallon. mine pick at zoas every now and again, but hers dont seem to mess with any of her corals.

my hermits are picking at my zoos. They pick at stuff between the polyps. Are they just eating debris or are they eating the zoos?
The white hermits seem to be the only ones doing this.

The emeralds should be fine..
I'd be very cautious about hermits.
