My emerald crab up until today has been pretty reclusive and only came out from under his preferred rock at meal times. Now it's middle of the day and he is going round and round the perimeter of the tank trying to climb the walls. Anyone have one that does something like that?
 
Probably hungry. Any new additions to the tank like other inverts or corals?
Maybe something hitchhiked in and is pushing it out of its territory?
Nothing new. I don't think he is hungry. I've trained him to take food off giant tweezers and so gets either an algae wafer or shrimp pellet every day.
 
Can't figure a crab
