Sally lightfoot?

[superdust]

I just received a nice little clean up crew today (my first inhabitants) and in the crew i bought a sally lightfoot i would say he is about 3 inches from one end to the other. I have read that these are really fun to watch and active crabs, well mine has moved maybe 4 inches and hanging upside down on a rock. Could he be in shock or what? Is this normal?
Thanks Dustin

Can take a while before they become active. They are fast moving little critters and move from rock to rock picking at algea..

you are right they are fun to watch mine is most active at night time. But every once in a while will do alot during the day. And also they are fast as hell.. if you ever change tanks good luck catching that little thing. But they are cool.

I have heard that they can be aggressive towards other tankmates over time. Especially towards smaller fish.
