Ok so I have a toadstool leather and it’s been doing good but my emerald crab will not leave it alone. I assume he’s just cleaning it but I want my coral to open up. Any tips/tricks?

Emerald crabs can sometimes eat coral, it can be hard to distinguish between cleaning it and eating it so keep an eye out and remove the crab if necessary.

Agreed, i had to remove an emerald crap because it decided my purple stylo was tasty...
That’s unfortunate because the crabs are kind of funny. He has been doing it repeatedly all day. He isn’t getting at the top of the coral, he’s just walking around the base of it but the coral keeps closing up and I guess I’ll keep an eye on it!

Ok good news the crab has walked away and gone somewhere else. Hopefully he stays away!
