    Anyways as for the crab i know a few people that have them and have no problems with them but i have heard of some problems with them munching on soft coral but honestly no crab is 100% reef safe there scavengers they will eat whatever they can get their claws on lol

    I believe that the "rude" comment was in reference to a spammer who was in fact posting on a lot of threads. Since those posts have been removed, you can no longer see him. I've cleaned up this thread to avoid confusion.

    I would be worried about how often you would see him in a 55 gal. I've also heard the anemones usually die then the crab just hides all the time.
