what type of hermit crab would work best for a FOWLR tank.
Blueleg or scarlet ????? or both ??????

Some say blue legs are not reef safe....best to stick with the scarlets

Sorry 29 gal tank. with 40 lbs of LS & 20 lbs of LR

Blue legs would bully the more passive scarlets. I personally prefer zebras. It is a hit or miss with these guys. Some people think they are murderous monsters while others, like myself, have no problem. I used to have eleven, and they were fine.

I have a mix of Red leg reef hermits and zebras....no problems so far.
