Nano Crabs

[liverock27]

I am wondering which crab you would recommend for my 14g reef. A porcelain crab or pom pom crab. I have a Emerald crab already. I have also heard that porcelain crabs should be kept in pairs. Any thruth to that or would one in my small tank be fine? Any other suggestions would be great too. Thanks.

horseshoe or arrow crabs are neat

I got a porcelain crab and never see the sucker -- maybe if I got another one he would show up more? As it is I might as well not have gotten him, because I never see him and only have a 6-gallon, so he is pretty well dead set on not being seen (except when I look in at night with a red flashlight)

At Cappucino Bay they have a porcelain crab in a show tank that was out in the open when I bought mine, so I am not sure what the difference is. They do look really cool though when they are sweeping the water with their filter appendages.

Same for me with my pom pom crab...I see him maybe once a month if I'm lucky.

I like the porcelan, but I'm not sure how well three of them would do in a 14g BC.
