Besides Hermit Crabs, can anyone tell me which crab is the safest for a reef tank.

Here a list I find to be pretty accurate

Reefsafe crabs

I've some things

about Arrow and Horseshoe crabs, though. Put those 2 on the bottom of your list.

I have a Sally lightfoot and just recently read in a book they are called the Jekyl and hyde crab so keep that in mind.

LOL thats funny, why? They just snap when they feel the need?

**Chiefmcfuz** · 06-01-2006, 12:41 PM

LOL I guess.

OK rule out sally lightfoot. I happened to witness him actually attack and kill my Yellow tang a half hour ago. He has since dragged him to the back of the tank behind the rockwork and is chowing down on him. Keep in mind this morning the YT was in perfect health, eating and swimming fine. Me and my big mouth.

Trying to get a pic of it now but I think I may have to move my TV and stand to actually get back there to take a good pic. Not an easy task.

I have (2) Sally's.

The only thing I see them do was pick at stressed corals.
But to take down a fish!!!!!
