do you think i should get a real crab

i have several hermet crabs and snails, but do you think a regular crab like and emerald crab or something like that will help the clean up. i dont have any problems with algae or anything, but i every clean up crew packages i see show regular crabs as part of it

what do you think

Unless you have a bad case of bubble algae I would not recommend the emerald crab. I have had nothing but problems with them and I have also read of other people on here having big problems. It would be a shame to add one when it really won't solve any problems for you and might create some.
 
Yep,if it aint broke dont fix it. If your adding just to have one I would not, mine do there job on the bubble and sometimes hair/turf but I do catch them trying to pry food out of my suncoral and dendros !
 
What about a lightfoot? Maybe a acro crab if you have any i don't know. Or a anem crab? Strawberry crabs are cool never had a problem with one
