Opinions on sally lightfoot crabs

just wondering what everyone thinks of these guys.I just heard 2 different horror stories from people over the last week about them taking out fish.I've always had them without any problems.I do feed my tank heavy, which may be the reason I've never had any problems.

my personal take on crabs -they are omnivores...it's a risk especially for fish that inhabit the same "zone" (e.g. blennies/gobies).

Feeding the tank heavy definitely probably helps!

I guess if they get too big you may want to push em into the sump.

edit: btw i would also guess it depends on tank size and the size of the crab. More real estate in the tank may perhaps lead to less issues (especially if your feeding heavy)
