Will they get along in the same tank? As some may know from a previous thread, I may have unleashed the wrath of bubble algae into my tank and was thinking of getting ahead of it and unleashing the wrath of an emerald crab on any bubble algae that pops up. Will these two crabs live peacefully...

First off, as many of you know, this is my first aquarium. Since I started setting it up in January, I have been bitten pretty hard by the reef bug and I have grown very attached to my reef inhabitants. I am extremely cognizant of trying to make sure that they are living in a comfortable...

Just wondering if Aiptasia are ok in a Fish only tank or do they sting fish also- might add some interesting aquascape to a FO w/ LR tank.

I was told I need a bigger clean up crew, which I know I do. The LFS dude said I should get an emerald crab, or a sally light foot crab. I have been reading that when they get bigger they can get mean. Does anyone else have one and is that true. Should I stay away from them?

I know this may be a dumb question but Has anyone every heard of a sally light foot crab getting out of the tank? I have had three in a 55 gallon fowlr tank for over a year now. When I got them they were just babies and have grown pretty big over the last year, so I find it hard to believe one...
