Emerald crab showing off

You haven't had any issues with your emerald munching on your corals? I've had three over the years and all three eventually started chowing down on some corals! All were well fed too, I just recently banished #3 to my sump after discovering it eating an entire frag disc of tube corals! My previous two liked any Euphyllia. One ate two large heads of green torch before I noticed... Good for you if you're able to successfully keep one though, they are definitely great algae grazers too but after that I'll never try keeping one lol.

I’ve been lucky.  There are 3 emeralds in my tank and they’ve never eaten any corals.  I see them on corals occasionally like in the photo, but they’re usually looking for algae and move on if they don’t find any.

My only complaint is that they aren’t interested in my bubble algae which was the reason I got them.  But they’ve done a great job with other types of algae.
