Sally lightfoot Crabs aren't aggresive right?

[kyarnkid]

I know I am bugging the crap out of everyone for all these " is this dangerous and what about this". If I am getting out of hand just tell me and I will stop.
I want one of these cool things, but not if he gets mean and kills fish

cant tell for sure, i have no claws in my tnak, but they are cool, and i have heard mixed opinions on whether or not they are aggressive, the one htat i find the best(source 4 me), says no they are not, it is rumor, but as i have said, i have heard mixed thoughts

i have one in my 135 and he causes no harm whatsoever. I rerely see him, but when i do he is fun to watch and just hangs around grazing on algae!

I have a SallyLightfoot in my tank and it is not aggressive at all. I am going to add another one to my tank as well. My Sally does not bother anything in the tank. But I guess there is always exceptions to the rule.

I have one in my 50 gal reef and he is constantly eating algae and moving all around the tank (very visible). He has never bother fish or coral. But I have read numerous posts about these crabs being coral and fish killers. I think most are OK but with all crabs you pay your money and takes your chances.

always a chance he could be a killer! but he's supposed to be fine!

For the most part lightfoot crabs are peaceful
and they do their own thing.
try to purchase them when they are fairly small.
I have a lightfoot crab in my tank
with a arrowhead crab and they get along fine.
my lightfoot has always been peaceful until
I bought a blood red shrimp for $30.
I dropped that shrimp in my tank and before he even hit the ground my lightfoot tore him a
new ass <img src="graemlins//evilwhorn.gif" border="0" alt="[Evil Horn]" /> I couldnt believe my eyes. <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" />
Thats the only bad expierence I've had with lightfoot crabs, otherwise there peaceful <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" />

Yes. Sad to report, but, I had a yellow tang who constantly picked on the mucous of a leather coral, a toadstool, I guess. P***ed me off!
