This little son of a biscuit! Never had trouble with Emerald Crabs before. Guess all things change at some point

Would love to see your viedo but it doesn’t open. If possiable post to YouTube and put a link- that seems to always work for me.
Take care- happy reefing!

Lol. Man I wish viedo worked for me. Maybe my phone? In any case, I also live EC, but I have also heard some* like To eat or pick at corals. Mine does just fine - knock on wood lol

Oh noooooo! I started scolding the crab in the video as I was watching lol.

'Don't you do it! Hey! Hey! Nooooooo!'



Sorry that the crab decided to snack on your zoas.

LOL That is one bad crab. I had an emerald crab 2 years ago that I loved. Didn't eat any coral but he ate all my vermetid snails. Wish I could find another one just like that one.

Idk why it wont. I clicked on it myself and it did take about 10 seconds to load. These a lot of tasty morsels on that rock but unfortunately it can't seem to tell what's food and what's coral. This thing is gonna eat the whole colony! I just got it (the crab) today. Bouda take it back if this keeps up!

Haha you scolded the crab while you were watching... That made me laugh. You can hear me freaking out at the end of the video and dropping the camera. I was about to shoot video of him eating to post on my Facebook wall.. That was short lived lol Hopefully it stops otherwise it's back to the fish store he goes.
I have had terrible luck with everything I've bought from that fish store. And my tank has only been cycled for 7 days. 5 of the 15 snails I got stopped moving around (I assume they're dead). Two corals I bought from them haven't opened since I bought them last Thursday (Star Polyps & Green polyp toadstool shroom). The Orchid Dottyback I bought Sunday did a 180 from the last 2 days and I found her under a rock this morning aspirating ( I quarantined her immediately and gave her meds but it was too late ) and now the dang Emerald Crab?!
The corals I think just need more flow so that I can fix but the snails, fish and this dang crab... Grrrr.
My parameters are almost perfect too. It's definitely not my water. I have some Brightwell Fish Recover M coming Amazon Prime Friday so I can treat the tank to prevent the bacteria from killing my Black clown; as of now he's fine some luck though!

Emerald crab doing what they do, not it’s fault or the lfs’s. Sometimes in the gamble you lose.

Exactly. I can't blame the LFS or the crab. I definitely lost this one lol. I have had half a dozen or more in my reef keeping days, never had an issue. I bought a nice Gonipora today and I just caught it picking at the goni tissue. This ones done. Back to the fish store it goes soon as I can catch it!
