The Sally Lightfoot Crab, also known as the Nimble Spray Crab or Urchin Crab, is an exceptionally fast, agile, and industrious invertebrate found throughout the tropical waters of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific. Reaching a maximum carapace size of 2 to 3 inches, this crab features a flat, disc-like brown body accented by brilliant yellow rings or neon-gold bands around its joints and legs. They are highly sought after by aquarists for their unmatched ability to rapidly clear nuisance algae from live rock.
- Minimum Tank Size: 10 to 20 gallons (making them ideal for setups of almost any size).
- Water Temperature: 72°F to 78°F.
- Water Chemistry: pH 8.1–8.4, Specific Gravity 1.023–1.025, Alkalinity 8–12 dKH, with standard iodine levels for proper molting.
- Diet: Omnivore with a heavy preference for algae. They continuously scrape hair algae, film algae, detritus, and leftover fish food from rocks, but should be supplemented with dried nori or herbivore pellets if the tank is too clean.
