I got two and I know they are suppose to be docile but both are fairly big and I have some very small fish in my tank, how docile are they? :)

you should send me one so i can do a test on their docility.
in all honesty, i've NEVER heard anything bad about them and would have grabbed one or two had this store had any on wednesday

Anyone else own any of these who can comment, they dont seem to be aggressive. Been trying to get some info on them with small fish

Extremely docile. I keep mine with a baby gold stripe, a tiny sixline (under an inch right now), a bicolor blenny, two green clown gobies..also tiny. He's also in with emeralds, hermits, a serpent star, a fire shrimp... He hides during the day, we NEVER see him, and when he does his laps at night ours shows NO intrest in anything other than scavenging; I believe they prefer to scavenge and aren't ones to catch or hunt other fish. I'd safely say they wouldn't hurt a thing. We call ours Shy-guy, just thought I'd throw that in. The emeralds get into more trouble than he does

yeah a small fish landed on him earlier but he did grab the other strawberry crab and hold him but he didnt seem to be attacking him, the other sone kinda tilted up and just stood there. Kind of odd.

I would put the Strawberry crabs in the same category as emeralds, docile but oportunistic, and will occasionally wave its claws at fish passing by.. but more of a gimme my space gesture..
