My emerald crab will only bug my fish if they swim into him.. He is not friendly with my snails and other hermit crabs!

As a matter of fact he is eating my rosemouth starsnail as i type this...

I have 2 emerald crab in my tank and they never touch my corals ( I think ), but I heard its pretty rare that they eat your coral. And for the fish, your fish are faster and stronger by 10x than them, i would be way more score for your emerald grab than your fish.

I have probably 15-20 of them throughout my tanks. Just make sure they have enough algae to eat. I've only seen one picking at my bright green monster boooobies so he got transfered to another tank. Probably an honest mistake thinking it was algae. They tend to hang out in one area unless they run out of food to eat so introduce him to rocks away from your corals if you're worried.
