Sally Lightfoot Crab

This entertaining crustacean has attractive coloration and is very active. During feeding time it can be seen racing around the aquarium at high speeds. It will eat some algae, but prefers meaty foods. It is an opportunistic predator of small creatures, such as other crustaceans, sometimes even small fish. It may tear open corals and anemones to eat their stomach contents. It does best with large fish and other sizable invertebrates that can defend themselves. It can grow up to a 4 inches leg span.
