i want a crab with LOTS of personality

[fedukeford]

i was just lookin for a crab that has lots of personality and stays out in the open alot, and is REEF SAFE... i already have an emerald crab and a porcylin crab... any suggestions?

 

[devildog01]

umm...maybe a sally lightfoot?

ok thx how bout a horeshoe crab but i havent really heard much bout them.. do they die easily or sumthin?

 

[puffer32]

They grow very large, thats why you don't see them often. My largest emerald has lots of personality, rarely hides and likes to strut his stuff from one end of tank to the other flexing against the glass, my 2 small ines hardly come out at all.

so would i be able to have a horeshoe in my 55 or is it 2 small?

 

[reefer123]

way, way to small

First of all your 55 would be too small. And secondly, when those horseshoes get big, those things get NASTY!!! :scared:

I agree with the Sally Lightfoot mine is really cool he's always cruisin around and he looks cool besides. plus he does a good job as a cleanup crew member. hes always eating something.
