I added this crab to my 50-gallon reef tank and it has been peaceful so far. It doesn’t seem to harm corals, but I keep an eye on it. Easy to care for and fits well in the tank. Good choice for beginners.

The crab arrived healthy and active. It’s semi-aggressive, so I made sure to place it in a tank with plenty of hiding spots. It’s not overly active but does explore the tank regularly.

It’s a nice addition to the tank, but I noticed it occasionally bumps into corals. I’m monitoring closely to avoid any damage. Still, it’s a manageable species for a beginner.
