Stone crab question

[gnomepunter]

ok I have a stone crab thats about 3.5 inches across it was a gift from a friend who originally got it as a hitchhicker on some rock so now i have the big fella in a twenty gallon tank and was wondering. since its already saltwateris their anything that i can put in with him that he will not eat lol.any other type of crab or inverts.im really hoping that their is a few types of fish that would be fine with him but if not I will be ok with just him.I mean hes pretty cool.but I was hoping to color up the tank with some fish.

I have no idea what would be safe with him, but I want to see a picture if you have one.

I'd say at that size he's going to be a fish predator for sure. I wouldn't put any fish in with a crab that size, especially since you stated you have him in a 20 gallon tank and you wouldn't be able to put any large fish in there. Now, a mantis shrimp might be able to hold his own and that would be a fun species tank. Trying looking those up. I'm not sure if a crab would go after a shrimp.

I think anything will be lunch for him.
