How bad are emerald crabs. I have one and all was fine he ate alage did what i wanted now i read that they strip sps corals.
I check my birdsnests and its fully opened nothing missing so i think nothing of it. I put a pocillopora into my tank and i first notice he is in front of it every morning chilling, so after 3 days ive noticed its bottom half hasnt been extending at all but the top is.. about where the crab couldn't reach. So now im not happy and confused cause my other 2 sps are fine and they been fine for months but this new one is just not happy on its bottom half and my crab is always there i notice now. And im worries if it is the crab he will move onto my nice stuff.
Do you reefer have issues with them like storys time id like. And if so sump the little demon? And will my sps recover it is very new and i wish i had notice the first day not day 5 -_-
