hi! so earlier today I purchased a sally lightfoot crab, the owner of the lfs was explaining that it mainly feeds on algae and is harmless.. currently I don't have any fish, only a hermit crab and emerald crab with some varieties of snails. But I do have a few soft corals and zoanthids.. I read on live aquaria the crab is reef safe. but I wanted to see if anyone has had much experience with one in a nano as I've been reading more and more troublesome news about the species of crab... although I already let him into my tank lol and i'm kinda nervous and not sure whether to exchange it.
I'm running a 13.5g tank aswell

Sorry so late, hi

I would say not a good choice for a nano. They can get big and harass small ones inverts as they grow,.

See if anyone else has them
