agressive sally lightfoot

[mandrin13]

I think my sally lightfoot crab has killed my royal gramma and he is waveing his claws at my prcula clownfish.Are sally lightfoots supposed to be that aggressive.I am worried because he is in a 1.6 galllon nano that will be in the florida state fair for 14 days( I am bringing the tank to the fair tomorrow)will my clown die.I hope he doesnt because lots of little kids might see the tank and see "nemo" dead.

They have been known to get a little aggressive with slower moving fish when they mature. But I doubt that it actually went after the fish. I have one in my 125 and one in my 20 and absolutely love them. The cleaning job they do is outstanding, much better scavenger than aything else I've ever seen before.

I'm sure if a fish is dying/already dead then the sally will do what comes natural.

Well I will add that my sally in my 20 grabs at my clarki clown if he gets too close but that's about it.
