Sally lightfoot?

Hello.
Before I joined this site about a week ago, I bought a sally lightfoot he,s about 1in. in dia. The guy at the store said he wouldn,t get much bigger and cause no problems. Some web sites agree some don,t . He,s no problem yet. What are your opinions. I want to add cleaner shrimp and peppermints in the future, also will the other inverts I have be O.K.?
I don,t want to go get him a expensive dinner.
Thanks for your replies

 

They do in fact get rather large and when they get big enough, they have been known to become very aggressive.

 

ditto

 

every six legged crab has it's dark side. you can't trust those little guys.

 

Really, this goes for all crabs...they can either be little angels or the devil himself lol...

 

Crab

When I mentioned his size I meant his body is about 1in. diam. also will shrimp survive with him?

 

I have a sally light foot crab and a cleaner shrimp and they seem to leave each other alone, both have continued to grow for about 3 months now and my crab might be larger than yours.

 

Thanks guess I,ll give one a try

 

I have a Sally as well with shrimp. No problems yet with the shrimp, other inverts, corals or my fish.
