Yeah, the crabs are great! They are a local shore crab, Pachygrapsus crasspies. Very entertaining! I love them!
The Sailfin was not a planned part of the tank, but was in a LFSs tank on hold for me (trying to find an owner) and they went out of business on short notice. I got him out the day they bailed. He was to have been temporary, but he appears to love it. He is getting fat, never is stressed and does have a ton of room. Of course, the typical vertical swimming space is limited but due to the volcano style of the rock format, he has close to the entire tank for swimming, along with the caves that are formed by the rock against the overflow.
