Hi

I was just wondering if it would be ok to add an emerald crab to a 12g nano (orca tl-450).

Current population is 3 red tip hermits, 2 star astrea snails, 1 toadstool leather, 2 small zoa frags and 1 pulsing xenia frag... as well as some bubble algae and a couple of small patches of hair algae.

I know these crabs can be a little bit naughty but how naughty are they in practice?

Thanks

Mark

I have 3 small ones and they are no trouble and do a good job (now bubble algae free but can't be 100% sure they cured it), i also have a large one which started taking chunks out of my leather so sumped him

I have a few (not sure how many) and not had any problems with them,mind you they do have plenty of algae to eat:o:D
