Sally assassin crab

[dick525]

Hi to everyone from chilly (69 deg) Miami.
Yesterday I purchased two Slaay ligt-foot crabs to help with my algae problem. When I got home, one of them had lost a leg. I thought maybe in transit. Later already in the tank I noticed it
was missing another leg. While looking at the tank residents and much to my horror Geofrey Dammer comes from nowhere and forcefully grabs the limping victim and tears one more leg off and procedes to eat it!
Today I found the 5 legged crab dead and after checking it found it full of eggs.
Sorry for the lenght of this but I had to share this .
Thanx for reading;

Wow, I know sally is somewhat aggressive but I didn't know their THAT aggressive. Mine is like the king of the tank. It attacks when my cleaner shrimp or sebae goes near him. Though, there is one thing funny about him. He likes to eat algae from the glass . Sometimes late at night, you'll be able to see him trying to swim up the glass. He's so funny. One time he grab onto the powerhead. After spending about 5 minutes up there, he managed to fly down.
