    I was thinking of adding some crabs to my CUC. Do they ever bother any corals? What kinds of crabs are most suitable to a reef tank? How many should I add to a 75 gallon tank? Other current inverts are: 1 huge peppermint shrimp, 1 pacific scarlet cleaner shrimp, and a menagerie of snails. Thank you in advance for your advice and help.

    I have an Emerald Crab in my tank with some corals. It doesn't seem to bother any of them.

    Just give John Mahoney a pm. He is the resident CUC expert. He is a 3reef sponsor Reefcleaners.com. Hope this helps.;)
