same with crabs

[lionfishfan]

i have a bunch of different ones, emerald, fiddle, red leg the list goes on, which is the best for the tank?

[trigger1]

i think the best are the red leg cortez crabs

[hrhladyvic]

i always go with an assortment as well, the blue legs and the red legs, but i do find the cortez red are better workers..lol

[KeysFan]

I didn't have good luck with emerald crabs. I do better with the cortez crabs.

[hawk]

the cortex are cool i like the electric blue hermits

[Linesider]

Take all the crabs out only use blue legs .. All crabs at one point will nip, tug or eat some of your corals.. Now if you have a system thats large and stable... This might not affect u..

[hrhladyvic]

do u say the blue legs because they are so small?

[Linesider]

not cause the size but because its the only ones that have never created any problems in the reef aquarium

Like the blue legs also but keep some extra shells in the tank for them to move into as they grow. Mine had a tendency to want to fight it out with
other blues for their shells.
