tastes like chickenI, personally, have no interest in eating coral. I might, however, if you starve me for a few weeks. Think of any reef-safe invert story that goes bad in this light... peppermint shrimp too.

yup they are slow as can be. easy to catch too if you have to break up an emerald crab duel which I have in the past.I put 20 in my 265 to combat bubble algae problem I used to have. I actually bought a rock with a beautiful chalice on it for almost free only thing is it was covered with bubble algae. 20 crabs and one rabbitfsh later and no bubble algae. Never seen them attack anything. And I agree this crab just isn’t capable of attaching a healthy fish.
I believe all crabs are opportunistic scavengers. As long as they’re eating they’re fine. If they don’t get there helping one day they’ll find it somewhere.
Favia poisoning.... j/kI had a bryopsis outbreak so I got two in my 20 long. They cleaned it up fast, great CUC. Ate lots of algae and leftover food. I did find if you didn't feed them or they ran out of food they'd pick at my LPS, but that was rare. They both died very mysteriously about 2 weeks apart. Idk why as everything else was healthy.
This is where I think a problem comes into play. You obviously have a large tank sinc you have multiple tangs, the OP has a 21 gallon tank that most likely will have about 20 lbs of live rock. How quickly do you think one crab could go through that rock?Of course they have claws. If hungry they can use them. But in a mature aged tank there should be plenty of algae and detritus for them to eat So they shouldn’t be a problem. I have no algae in my main tank. I mean if I put a rock covered in hair algae, my tangs and snails will pick it clean in 1 night. And still I see my crabs picking st rocks all day long. So they must have better eyes than me because they see algae lol
