Sally Lightfoot Crab

[bhenneke]

Howdy all,

Would it be safe to put a Scooter Blenny in the same aquarium as a Sally Lightfoot Crab? The tank is a 26 gallon bowed front. I have about 35 lbs of live rock for the crab to run around and pick from.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

the crab will not work in that tank because they get quite big andneed a minimum tank ssize tank of 55 gallons

Ive heard the sallys can catch smaller fish, scooters are small (compared to how big a sally can get) and bottom dwelling which would put them at further risk.

If your looking for a neat crab, an emerald crab may be a better option.

edit, ive never had either, just my reading experience

SallyLightfoots are NOT reefsafe... they are very aggressive and can get big.
