Sally in here?

[Neezy]

I have a 25gal (see specs below) with:

perc (1)
six line wrasse (1)
pajama cardinal (1)
hermit crab (2)
emerald crab (1)
snails (?)
several hard and soft corals

I've been hearing lately that more and more people are having trouble with sally lightfoots turning agressive. I havent had any customers tell me anything negative however on this forum some people have been posting some some crazy sh**. I want to pick one up as the final inhabitant for my tank but am now curious on their true habits.

Please only respond if you have had them for upwards of a year or so, expert advice is preferable. Thank you.

I've never liked them because the ones ive had are.....well lets just say they haven't been nice.

I had one for over a year and i really liked her. Some times she would lunge for a fish like my coral banded shrimp does. Never seen her catch one. Did find a blenny with half it's torso gone once when I had a 33 gal tank. Also had emarlds in there and perhaps the fish died for some other reason and one of the crabs went to work one it after that. I decided i would not have a Sally with a blenny or some fish that just sits on the rocks. I want another but my wife doesn't cause she thinks they are bad. Got to pick your battles.
