Oops, I did it again!

I'll be honest... same, never had an emerald crab go rogue. Last two were from Reef Cleaners and never harmed a coral.

I had two emerald crabs in a 20 gallon cube. One was biting the polyps on my torch so I removed him. I actually saw him lights out grab a polyp with his claw.

The other one I thought was fine until two months later I saw the other one do the same thing. I think the problem is I only had one head of torch so it only had one target. It did have algae for them to pick on too. I haven’t been lucky with them so if I do add more it will be pithos crabs

Torch of all things, I hadn't heard of that one before, mostly zoas and softies but anything is possible. I went with Pithos this time around because I didn't know they existed before and they just have a better reputation all around. So far my two haven't left the rock work and been grazing all day.

I think I'm not the only one with bad luck with the emeralds, sorry friend
 
Cheers Luis!

Thank for calling this person now in their 7th decade a kid 😛
You know I tell everyone I’m 20 years older than I am so I hear how great I look. When I used to tell them my actual age they would cringe and change the subject. It was awkward!

It’s the opposite for me. Possibly due to all the bike riding and genetic factors(my dad looked younger for many years) people have thought I was in my early 50s and a couple wild guess of the 40s
 
Congrats on the hopefully so to be baby birds!
