Red Mithrax crabs

Anybody have any experience with these? More or less aggressive then Emerald Mithrax? More or less likely to eat bubble algae then the Emeralds?

My mom had one for a while. It was not aggressive and was not exposed to bubble algae. It did get pretty dang big though before it died. It was really fun to watch.

I've had them come after ME while diving. I definitely wouldn't put them in with fish you want to keep.

WOW, coming after a human diver...that's what I call aggressive!!!

I use them all the time to feed to my mantis shrimp. They make great food, i dunno about them eating algae though....
