Emerald crab

The past couple of mornings I’ve noticed him chilling on this digitata.

The Forest fire digi seems no worse for the wear though.

I’m just wondering if I should relegate it to the sump lol

Completely normal. Mine chills in my Milka stylo every night. The stylo has grow a ton since I’ve taken this pic. It doesn’t seem to care.

If the coral seems happy and you don't notice him eating it then don't worry. I've had them do the same thing.

Thanks good to know.

In my other cube tank I’ve also noticed an emerald crab chilling (or hugging) at the base (skeleton) of a joker torch.

Its facing up with pinchers towards the polyps…but again I see no evidence of it actually eating the coral itself.

I’ve suppose I’ve convinced myself that they will start eating the corals polyps eventually, because of some of what I have read lol

But It’s not happening yet
“knock on wood” and perhaps it never will

Mine like to chill in my frogspawn…he/she’s not picky which one!
