local beach crabs in a reef tank
In any beach in the lower mainland there is an endless supply of little crabs...
years ago in my fish only SW tank I used to put them in there... They seem to do fine... Has anyone done this in a reef tank ???? those darn emerald crabs are pretty expensive... !!!!

Interesting I would have not thought this possible, from tropical water temps to northern pacific?

They will die after time, reef tanks are to warm. Theres a good chance they carry disease and its also illegal.

they lived for months... and I don't think it's illegal,,, it's illegal to put into the wild... not take,,,
people fish, crab, shrimp, etc..... (as longs as they have the license...

It's your tank to risk ... I'd never do it
Besides the fact that you're introducing different diseases that may or may not thrive in your little glass box, you're subjecting the poor little crabs to an environment that they are not genetically predisposed to survive in All legal crap aside, the temperature off Stanley Park was 56F today You might just as well put them directly into a pot of boiling water and melt some butter Bad Reefer ....
