I've been isolating all of the big hitch hiker crabs that I find in my tank into an area in my sump. I've thrown about 5 in there and I'm pretty sure there is only 1 left as it must have killed all of the others. They're opportunistic omnivorous and the only one I trust is the porcelain crab.

Kind of frustrating when you spend alot of money on the crabs and they kill themselves off! Do poralin crabs clean as well as hermits? I know they filter the water.

Porcelain crabs only feed from the water column so they wont help with any problem algae or uneaten food. http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_...629&pcatid=629
