They will get sort of big and attack fish never stopped me from keeping them. I never had any trouble with them messing with any of my other tank inhabitants

I never had trouble with them when I had them but read they were risky to keep in a reef tank so I traded them back to the LFS.

I've only had my tank for 4 months, the crab was the first to go in. He has grown supprisingly fast, but hasn't caused any problems. The Hermits on the other hand have been witnesses killing snails.

I've had my sally in for 3 months with shrimp, snails and other crabs, fish etc. He does'nt bother anybody except the algae Yeah! I also have killer hermits. They have a fond taste for the turbos???
