Does anyone know what other crabs are compatible with decorator crabs? I have a 60gl tank with a decorator in it and I love crabs so I was wondering what others I could get, other than hermit crabs?

Emerald crabs? Thin-Shelled Rock Crab? Guard Crab? Fiddler? Sally Lightfoot?

Other inhabitants: clowns, lionfish, starting softies, SPS, LPS (Out of reach of the Decorator).
 
Not sure exactly, but each of them has their own nuance. Porcelain crab and other small decorator crabs can be nipped by other fishes. While emerald crabs are known to topple frags. I don’t know if they will harm each other, I doubt, but I’m not expert.

As long as it leaves my decorator alone and doesn't ruin the rocks it should be fine.
