Lol, last time the female released her eggs the same night, but didn't see that last night.

Figuring out the hobby one coral at a time.
I was like "why did they take a video of a emerald holding onto bubble algae? We all know they eat that stuff". Then the video goes further and he's holding her!

so - why is the emerald crab white? I had one that I thought was dead, but after months of being MIA, I saw it every day for a 3-4 days. It was white though, not green like it had been. I wasn't completely sure it was the same crab or a grown hitchhiker that came on some rock I didn't notice many months prior. After it was active for a few days, I found it dead. I couldn't reach it, but I could see it well enough to determine it wasn't just a molt. The only thing in my tank that could realistically have hurt it was probably a hermit crab.
I'll admit, I didn't look much into it. But I figured the white color, the sudden activity burst, and the death soon after were somehow related. Now I see your picture and it makes me rethink that assumption.

The whiter one was green too, but it hides out most of the time, which is why I assumed it lost its colour

Love in the water, no bubble algae, but there is cyano that I'm treating which is why the zoas are closed up
