Crazy Crab

[New2Salt]

I have an emerald crab who is like 3/4" inch. I have a 14gal BioCube.

Should the crab be attacking my new Banded Shrimp? I just saw a bunch of sand get kicked up, and when I ran up to the tank, my Shrimp had his claws extended out at the Emerald.

Whats the deal? The crab is sinister and I dont trust him. Anything with legs that hairy is not good

Hermit crabs are all I care to deal with.

I don't like hairy legs either.

Get that thing outta there!

I've not had any bad experience with Emeralds in my tanks! Every crab has its own personality though, so some caution will have to be advised.

In that small of a tank, there's bound to be more scraps between your inverts than there would be in a larger tank. Both will get more aggressive as they get larger too. Get the emerald or the shrimp out of there would be my suggestion.
