I'm looking to add a rabbit or rabbit pair to my MT for aesthetics and algae control. I've always had great success with scribbles for bubble algae and not eating corals, is there other species like Golden's or orange spots that will do well also?

Like Jda said, in order for them to be coral safe they have to be well fed. I’ve moved from Emerald crabs to Pitho. I find them to be more active. Once algae is gone, it’s important to supplement.
I feed my crabs, conchs, and other snails two sheets of nori every other night when lights go out. They eat all of it by morning. Makes all the difference if your wanting them not to go after your corals.
Really just depends on the amount of algae you keep. I keep 5 in my 190g tank and that works well for me. They get big, but have tiny claws, so it’s no big deal. Theyre pretty active and like to sleep in the sand.I've had great experience with red mithrax crabs before and I found a website that sells these pithos crabs. Do you have a recommendation for how many is too many in an aquarium?
