I recently saw these for sale and they are beautiful. After doing some research I've heard mixed reviews on how they behave with fish. Anyone have any? Good? Bad? Ugly? I'm seriously considering setting up a new tank for one if it can't go in a community tank. Thanks.

For the most part I have found that there is a general consensus that keeping inverts with fish just isn't a good idea. I thought about buying myself a blue malwai crab for my cichlid tank, but that would be a very expensive meal for my fish($60 for a single crab!).
Most of the time, someone dies. Either the crab kills the fish, or the crab molts, and the fish kill it because it is defenseless. I would go with a species only tank just to be safe.
