I'm thinking about adding some crabs and I'm new to the reef game. Any suggestions for some long lasting ones?

hermit crabs are reef safe.

I had that crab before too and it lasted about 3 months. I really liked him. Mine was small a little bigger than 50 cent coin. i really liked him till one day i notice he was dead. He changed his shell once. has yours changed his shell>?
