Thinking about buying a crab?

[AmatureReefer]

Are soldier crabs reef safe(Blue Berry Crab)? They look cool but I want to make sure before I buy them.

Soldier crabs (Mictyris platycheles) inhabit sand and mud intertidal zones and are found above the water line in massive numbers (hence the name). I don't think they would do well in a reef environment.
