OK I have seen these little guys around and I realy like them I was just wondering if one of these little guys would get along with my little green chromis and my little lawnmower blenny? and would he be ok in a reef tank.

and would a emerald crab be ok in a reef tank to or would I have to watch him with my fish? and if they are not good what would be a good crab for a 20L and 37G reef tank.

Emerald crabs are herbivores... for the most part.

I'm not sure about hawkfish... do a google search and read about them (and any other fish or critter you are considering). "excellent choice for an aggressive community setting" and "bold and predatory" don't make this sound like your average good community tank sorta fish.

i had to get rid of my arceye because he ate my peppermint shrimps i wouldnt recomend them if you plan to have inverts. or any other hawkfish for that matter.

I have a flame hawkfish and if you are going to have cleaner shrimp....well your hawkfish is gonna see him as dinner shrimp and that goes with anything that is smaller than your hawkfish. If he thinks he can get any of it in his mouth, he will certainly try as far as the snails and crabs in my tank, he hasnt even looked twice at them, he is good with my faxface, tangs and clowns as well. He would probably eat your blennie. But he is fun, he sits on tip of my tunze powerhead and I hang pieces of meat for him to eat and he pokes his head out of the water and grabs it right out of my hand.
