Coral Eater!

I recently bought an Emerald Crab and I don’t recommend this crab for a reef tank. It it definitely not reef safe. It seems to have a taste for mushrooms. Interestingly though it didn’t touch my Kenya Tree Corals or any of my other corals, only the mushrooms so I sold it to someone. Goodbye crab.

they're hit or miss, some fine but others can be problems. Sorry you got a bad one, it can be a huge pain getting it out

Agree, used to have 3. Ate my black brittle starfish. Can’t find another black one. Only send brown ones. The culprit went to the electric chair. The others were sold. And they had plenty of bubble algae to eat. Don’t know what there deal was. Also feed them in the afternoons. Got a taste for blood, I guess.

Also, how long does it take for salt to mix 100 percent? On average of course.

I use a spare pump from my aquarium. I usually let it mix for about 2 hours. A hour into mixing, I make sure some of it hasn't settled at the bottom. After 2 hours, i check the salinity. I also use a heater while its mixing to bring it up to temp.

Okay great I’ll do that.

I had one of eight that did not bother coral. I do NOT trust these crabs. I trust a politician more than an emerald !!
