Which exotic crab is a reef safe "must have" crab in your opinion/experience. I'm wanting several cool crabs which does not include hermits. I'm guessin' strawberry crab and porcelain? Just checking to see if I missed any cool looking crabs.
 
Definitely pom pom crab. I also like porcelain crabs (mine has been MIA since I put her in though)
 
Sally light foots are cool crabs

Liveaquaria says, "When large, it can become aggressive and catch and eat small invertebrates and fish." So I guess this particular crab is out of the picture. That's too bad because I would've loved a red one:(
 
I just picked up a porcelain crab. They also had a pom pom but was waaay to small. Strawberry crabs is probably on my watch list next...

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
