I am starting to find some bubble algae in my tank and was considering the addition of a few emerald crabs.
Will I have to worry about them attacking my fish or coral?
 
My 2 Gladiators go to sleep on the sand bed, could they be attacked?

Clownfish?

It really shouldn't. A healthy fish should be ok. A injured, sick or old fish maybe from a large emerald.

I wont say no because a large emerald may be able to grab a fish not paying attention or at night but I think highly unlikely.
