I was looking into getting my cleanup crew for my tank, and I wanted to add some emerald crabs yet I heard from someone that they were territorial. Do I have to worry about them attacking or harassing the rest of my cleanup crew or eachother(I was planning on getting 2)?

thanks for the welcome I"m glad to be on the boards. oh and my tank is only a 20 gallon I figured I'd start small and move up if I loved the hobby and I do.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll go ahead and do that then. I figured it'd be fine to do, but I like to be sure of things research and ask around before I add something to my tank. especially if I hear anything like them maybe being territorial. Always best to check with people who have experriance.

crap it looks like SWF.com only sells em in groups of three. Well I guess I"ll just get three and adjust some of the other things. oh and on SWF.com they say that the horseshoe crabs they sell only get to be about 2inches long is this true?

you should note that the size swf.com says is the approximate size of the animal when you get it. Horseshoe crabs really can get up to to 2 feet.
