Looked over to the tank and saw what looked like something stuck to my finger gorgonian. After further inspection, it was one of our Emerald crabs climbing the finger gorgonian... anyone else's emeralds play on the corals lol.

Not saying it is happening to you, but I have a pipe organ coral that was absolutely beautiful with polyps extending at least an inch or more. Almost overnight it looked dead. I didn’t get around to taking it out. Started to see some heads coming back but nothing but little ends. Two nights ago I caught my emerald crab on it picking at it. Have heard they aren’t really reef safe, but my LFS highly recommended them for GHA. My tank is very Algea free now so think it found an alternate food source. Might keep an eye on it.

Other than that, pretty cool pic.
