Sally Lightfoot Crab

Sally lightfoots earned their reputation for speed honestly — this is one of the fastest, most agile crabs you'll ever put in a tank, capable of skittering sideways across rockwork and even briefly across the water's surface when startled. That same quickness makes it a genuinely effective scavenger, first to any dropped food, though tankmates that are slow eaters might find themselves losing the occasional meal to it.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~5" · Min tank: 30 gal · Reef safe: Yes · Diet: Omnivore, algae + scavenger
