Sally Lightfoot kill my Flame Angel?

[singularity28]

So I just looked at my tank and my sally lightfoot crab was munching on my Flame Angel. Needless say I am extremely dissapointed. I recall the Angelfish hasnt been as lively lately. Is there a chance that the Sally Lightfoot jumped him and had himself a $80 fish dinner? or was his death likely some other cause and the crab was just picking at him?
When I noticed the deed the fish was mostly in tact... And I know that the crab has killed before.. He ate my Camelback Shrimp as well. Let me know If I should get him out of there.
Thanks!

I would doubt it. I know sally lightfoots are known for catching shrimp and maybe small fish, but I doubt it would kill an angel. How big was the angel? How big is the crab? IME, they are mostly scavengers and he probably grabed it when it was already dead or real close to it.

i had a larger sally light foot catch and end up killing my mandarin. when they are small they seem to be a great addition to your tank. but when they start to get big they are nightmares. so the possibility of it killing your angel is deffilently there!

sally lightfoot crabs are a nightmare!!!! It is highly likely that it did do the fish.

Youll also have a bad job of getting him out there as they are fast, elaborate creatures but youll need to before it decimates everything.
