TIA

Beautifull crab! But.... as with all free roaming crabs, they are omnivores, meaning that they will most likely eat a lot of the life that is growing on live rocks, which reduces the diversity of life in your tank and it will most likely start killing off your snails as well. I think such crabs are good candidates for species specific tanks (small tanks used for keeping such things as mantis shrimp and other destructive critters)
