My buddy Amon made two appearances today. Surfaced from the sand for a piece of jumbo shrimp. Appeared an hour later for seconds.

Survived the night. Closed up with the light ramping down. Opened slowly as the light ramped up. And it appears my emerald crab molted again.

My emerald crab did molt. She is huge. All claw. Probably 3-4 inches. Algae eating machine. She is a female and has not shown aggression or messed with the coral.

So far she has been ok with the corals. I have notices that these SW aquariums have friends, foe and warfare! I guess if one is creating a reef it is to be expected. Some will thrive. Others will not make the cut.
