Which Sally Lightfoot do you own? I know there's 1 in every batch, but a healthy YT seems like a handful for a detritus/algae-eating crab.

Edit: After further review, large Sallys will attack fish if underfed.

I thought My Big RED Scarlet Hermit was violent. Here he is beating up a orange legged hermit.

Chief you witness this? Didn't try to help any? That's one expensive meal kinda like "Tavern on the Green" in the fish world. Sorry about the loss.

I have a large one of these. The YT swam up to him all of the time for a cleaning and would get nipped. But never saw him kill anything. Till I opened my big mouth I mean. It was a baby YT about 1.5-2 inches had for about a month and yeah he was doing fine, no sunken stomach ate like a pig.

Saw the immediade aftermath Lion-O, I watched him swim up for a cleaning and then next I knew about a minute later the YT was in his pincers dead. I can't put my hands in the tank right now, I burnt my forearms at my firehouse working on one of the engines.
