Thinking about getting a Porcelain Crab

[pinballwizrd315]

I went to my LFS today to get a pom pom crab. I got it but I was looking at a porelain crab they had. I was wondering if it would survive in my tank.

 

I have a 20g long, MH, lots of flow, a fuge, and skimmer.

There is the pom pom crab, emerald crab, randalls pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 9 assorted hermit crabs, about 10 snails, and a hi fin redbanded goby.

 

If you think it would work, what should I feed it? Any info is greatly appriated.

 

Thanks

Hit or miss probably. I had a rather large emerald, about 2" shell, kill a porcelain in my 24g nano. That same crab is now in my 55g and hasn't bothered any of the 3 porcelains in there.

i have a porcelain crab and i think their prety cool. I have the one thats all white with small brown spots and it doesnt grow too big. They eat the same things you feed your corals. The one think i noticed though is that i bought the spotted porcelain crab and he was very agressive and had to give him back
