will sally lightfoot crab eat or damage my corals?

[Flipsquad81]

like any fish or smaller fish? I wanted to add maybe a royal gramma + clown pair

Way late but take him out if you haven't. Mine has gotten large and eats my fish!

Agree will eat fish and other inverts. Coral safe yes. Fish and invert safe not a chance

They won't eat your corals but they may go into your refrigerator and eat last nights chicken surprise.

They are not sub marine crabs and are intertidal creatures, and spend most of their time just out of the water eating algae.
Virtually all of them that I had, about 5 climbed out and took a trip across my house to croak under some furniture. If any rock is near the top and side, they will run away.

They are all over the tropics, "on land". When you go near them, they jump in the water.

I put it in my 13.5g tank, lfs owner told me it only feeds on algae, but I've been seeing online some people had ones w/ aggressive behavior ... I don't have any fish in the tank yet, so I'm just curious about the corals.

Just caught my sally eating my Torch coral…. Hasn’t touched anything else but now I’m debating whether to get rid of her.
