Sally Lightfoot

[55 gallon]

I am having some difficulty keeping Sally Lighfoot crabs...I think...
I have introduced 3 into my tank- all at different times. I put them in healthy and they disappear into rocks immediately and I never see them again...Is it possible they are alive and never come out of rocks. Or is something enjoying the expensive meals I am providing. I do not think I have anything that is able to eat them but who knows. What are th Sally Lightfoots enemies?
Please help.
Thanks,
55 Gallon

how do you aclimate, what is your salinity, and what are the tankmates?

I aclimate using drip method, and my salinity was 1.021 now it is 1.023...what will eat a sally lightfoot? Like I said I lost 3 in as many months. Thanks

Like NEreef said what are your tank mates. how much live rock do you have maybe you have an unwanted quest like a mantis shrimp or a slipper lobster they have been known to come in live rock. my fish store sed to check by turning the lights off and shining a flash lite into the live rock.
