Sorry, One More Crab Question

[mapster]

regarding mithrax & hermits (scarlet). I can take the loss of a few snails, no biggie, but if there is a chance they will show aggresion or attack my shrimp, I will pass.

Does any one have experience with crabs attacking cleaner shrimp?

All bets are off as far as guarantees go in this hobby However, normally the shrimp are too fast for a crab to get a hold of to eat it. If the shrimp is weak from a hard molt, though, I suppose a crab might be able to wrestle it down.

I've always had hermits, and at times Mithrax and Sally Lightfoots, in the same tank with shrimp though and have had no problems.
