Hi,
i had an "unwanted" crab in my tank (verry little one you can read this post : https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/little-white-grey-crab.874754/#post-9622779 ), i found him dead today (not a molt) so i'm a bit afraid there is something wrong in my tank.
I have few snails (nassarius/strombus and some that cames with the rocks like stomellas/chitons), an emerald crab, two hermits crabs, a debelius, an ophiure, 3 thor and one parpermint shrimp. Everybody looks fine (exept the perpermint shrimp who is acting weird since few days, slow/not reactive).
Corals are OK.
I use my own RO water with resin, ATI Absolute Ocean salt.
Water tested yesterday (redsea and PH/KH/Ca tested with Hanna photometer).
Temp. 25
pH 8.3
NH3/NH4 0
NO2 0
NO3 0
PO4 0.01
SG 1.026
KH 7.5
Ca 400
Mg 1400
Tank is running activated carbon 24/7 (redsea). Skimmer (Stock one, tank is a redsea max nano)
i removed some algea on he back glass yesterday (1st time i clean the back panel), so there was a lot of alguea in the water collumn, could be the reason ?
You think something may have killed this crab or that it died because of its environment ?
Sorry if it's dumb, i just want to make sure everything is okay for my pets.
Thanks a lot
