I am new to the hobby and have a 12 gallon AquaPod that has been set up for about 3 months. I have a Sally Lightfoot that has been living peacefully in the tank for about 4 weeks. I added a Pom Pom crab last night after being re-assured by the LFS that they should be fine together. The Sally came over to check out the new crab, but not sure if it was just curious or being aggressive. Everything seems fine so far, but am I asking for trouble? I am now hearing that the Sallys can change personality over time and become aggressive. Should I get rid of the Sally before it starts causing me problems, or has anyone had luck with them in this size tank? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just got rid of mine in my 24g Pod.
Peacful and fairly shy at first... quickly became agressive especially at feeding time. Would take swipes at any fish that came near it.
There were several other items that turned up dead and missing parts (i.e. starfish, feather dusters). So I removed him and a pistol shrimp as a precaution.

I removed all live rock and corals and that worked pretty well 
But, I had to remove a Six Line Wrasse and Pistol Shrimp as well.
I had attempted to remove him via fish net baited with a chunk of silverside (which he loves) and was having partial success as he was checking it and trying to get it.
But as said before, I had to remove other items...
