I have a salt tank and I’m really interested in invertebrates, especially crabs. I’m looking for types of crabs I can put in. So far I have emerald crabs, sally light foot, Halloween crabs, hermit crabs (I have red leg Cortez), strawberry, and porcelain crabs. I also am considering a peppermint shrimp. Are there any other crabs I am missing?

The "decorator" crab we had 20 years ago was a beautiful pumpkin orange. REALLY cool to look at.

Reefcleaners has been steadily offering new types of crabs for sale. When John gets them in stock he lists them in The Store - > Other Inverts section.

Pom Pom crabs!!

They are pretty small, but they hold two little anemones in their claws which makes them look like cheerleaders. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tqCOHGPOTJA

Those guys are awesome! Do I have to be concerned about them fighting with other crabs?

Absolutely, crabs that aren't compatible will end up killing each other. You can get empty shells so they don't kill each other for the shells at least.
