Patriot Crabs and Flower Crabs: Can They Get Along?

[Paul E. Morphius]

I noticed they sell patriot crabs (Cardisoma armatumat) the LFS. I was wondering if they can get along with flower crabs (Sesarmops intermedium).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Paul,

no they dont! Cardisoma are getting much bigger than sesarmops. Larger species eat smaller ones, so please dont try it.

I just saw a photo of a fully-grown patriot crab. You weren't kidding. 0.o

Thanks for the warning! ^^
