Red Claw Crabs & Rainbow Crabs

[i3lade4life]

Does anybody know whether or not RC Crabs and Rainbow crabs can be kept together? I already have RCC's and have noticed some rainbow's in my LFS and wondered if they can coexist?
I know rainbows dont like too much water which is similar to the RCC's.

Big crabs see small crabs as food. Rainbow crabs used to be called "soapbox crabs" in the trade because that's how they're shipped -- singly, each in their own plastic box. They are extremely aggressive towards one another, and smaller crabs will likely end up as food.

I thought as much, I won't be getting a rainbow crab anytime soon then.
Thanks for the advice
