Your tank looks wonderful!!! You have lots of colours in the tank w/ your corals. But i dont think its good to put these tangs in a 55 gal because they will grow up.
Nerdy what success u had w/ tangs in a 35 gal? what kind of tan gwas it?

Those crabs probably came in as hitchikers on Florida aquacultured LR. They resemble emerald crabs, but with a red color. A good way to know if it is predatory is to look at the claws, does it have sharp points or pads like an emerald? Anyway, that one has pads, not points, but I have witnessed the ones I have eating corals too. However, every emerald crab I have had has also picked on corals. IMO, it is just a gamble. Some of those crabs will cause problems while others won't. If you aren't seeing any damage to any corals, I say give it the benefit of the doubt.
You have lots of good looking corals in there. Hope that long tentacle plate keeping doing well for you.

I bought my flame scallop about four months ago. It's doing well. I spot feed it everyday. Thank for everyone comments. That why I try to take care of my tank. I just upgrade my lighting from 110W CP and 40 blue to a 4x65W. Is this enought light for 55 Gal?

another picture of my long tentacle plate. I feed it shrimp once a week. IT has grown since I first bought it.
