So is there anything to watch out for having an emerald crab? What are they compatable with ? Do they bother certain kinds of coral?

Ok I will do a little more digging on them. I was considering one for my tank as I have a very small amount of green bubble algae

Emerald crabs are 90% 100% ok

This is exactly what I have, anyway to get rid of them.

Ive had 3. Most Recent one nipped at acros but the 2 others were the nicest citizens. Bubble algae doesnt mean the end of the world and I actually find it pretty easy to just manually remove with a turkey baster
