Re: Sally lightfoot
What about an emerald crab? would that be a better choice for a reef?

Re: Sally lightfoot
emerald is going to be much safer for you. i would avoid sally lightfoots just from fish eating horror stories

Re: Sally lightfoot
Definitely skip the sally. I had two in my old tank, within 6 months, they had caught and killed a sixline wrasse and two firefish. Emerald crabs are excellent. Get one of those instead.

Re: Sally lightfoot
I did get a sally from the LFS. He was cool looking and the girl said was very reef safe and just ate algae, did not trust so put him in sump till I got a better opinion on them so thanks he will be easier to catch now and return for the emerald.
Is it nessasary to buy pods? I don't have a fuge. do see a couple here and there. thought there should be more. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 72 gal. bow front Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 3yrs Last edited by jpjones; November 18th, 2007 at 07:17 PM.

Re: Sally lightfoot
IMO,all crabs will go after small fish when they get older.My emerald is getting bigger,it can't catch a fish but sure lunges at them.I hate to see him when he gets even bigger.
No need really to buy pods,give it time and there will be millions.

Re: Sally lightfoot
You've got good advice here.
Sallys are great while their still small.But once they get bigger,they tend to like meals with more more meat.
