sally lightfoot question

[ka0z4allu]

I got a sally lightfoot crab a few weeks ago and i seen her a few times the first couple of days mostly at night. I haven't seen it in a couple of weeks now and I was wondering if it is probably dead or do they hide all the time. Also is it possible to have a green mathrix emerald crab in the same tank with the lightfoot?

I had a Sally Lightfoot for a little over a year, and it was usually pretty visible. There would be times when I wouldn't see it for a couple days, usually when it molted, but the longest it was out of sight was about a week. It might just be shy, you never know.

It's probably hiding. They do that, especially when they're first introduced into an aquarium.
A Green Mithrax crab will easily get along with a Sally. The Sally won't notice it until it's on top of it and then the Mithrax will probably throw up it's claws, making the sally jump and run...
That's the extent of their interaction, usually.
