emerald crabs and even large hermit crabs can and will eat candy canes and other LPS, I have witnessed it firsthand. They will even eat the skeleton. Not saying that's what's happening to you without clear evidence, but it is certainly possible.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 17 63.0%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 4 14.8%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
