Sally Lightfoot Crab

mdobbins · Mar 6, 2026

I have a sally lightfoot crab in my tank I did not realize it had the potential to become so aggressive. I just got it in a clean up crew bundle. I took this video of it messing with my hermit crabs, which is new. Is it trying to eat them or be a bully? Or is this normal… it had one on its back and filled its shell in with sand.

I dont think its trying to eat it but it is definitely being a bully. Sally lightfoots get aggressive and I would advice you to get it out of your tank

Be certain, it will eat what it wants AND it will get big.
