I had a gorilla, it came w/ the lr. I dont rem how it died, I think my carpet got it. The only thing it ever killed was my engineer goby, they both tried to burrow in the same hole, the crab won. Other than that. It did not bother anything else.

The way I look at all crabs is that they're great scavengers, they'd do anything to survive, so therefore, if not enough food is provided for them, they will provide food for themselves, at all cost...

if you have the cream colored teddys, they are very docile, hide a lot and dont bother anything. i have seen a different crab called a teddy. they are brown in color and look very different. i think they are the bad ones. the little guys that i have are awesome!!!
