Sally Lightfoot Crab

also would that crab be ok? i looked for fish that get big enough so that the eel wont bother them yet wont get too big so that they out grow the tank. let me know your thoughts thanks..

skip the crab. Clown or sixline grouper (or any of the soapfish family), Dwarf Lionfish, Scorpion/toad fish are all safe bets.

I agree with SlipperyDick on this and just be careful you don't add too many. These fish will eat a lot and cause a lot of waste which makes for a dirty tank pretty quick. If it was mine I'd go with a grouper if one stays small enouigh, dwarf lion and the eel. Fu man chus are also neat looking (are they the same are slightly different than the dwarf fuzzy?)
