sally lightfoot

I do not clean my back glass of my reef and let algae grow on it.

slowly as algae builds up I notice my sally lightfoot getting a grip on the glass and gaining the ability to climb it.

Is there a risk my crab could climb out of the tank as the surface gets rougher for him to climb?

also, if he becomes a problem when he gets large can he be kept in my FOWLR tank with a blue spiny lobster and a volitian lionfish or will he get eaten even when fully grown?

I dont think he will climb OUT of the tank. He is much happier IN the water. I do know when he gets bigger he is able to kill and eat smaller fish.
Cant say if your Fish Only tank will be safe.

I would think there's a reasonable chance the lion would take him out.
