Bad Emerald Crab....CRABS!

[Ed Hahn]

I could not figure out what was happening to my pocilliapora. I have green and pink pocillipora. Both colonies were bleaching in the middle. I found out my problem was a emerald crab. I caught him eating one colony. I think I will join that Whit guy...Crabs are evil. Hermits ate my snails. Now Emeralds are eating my corals.

So Ed, does this mean you have a crab problem???
Lets hope it isn't contagious.

That's disgusting

Ed is there any way to get the little guy out of there and into your sump? That would be the humane way of dealing with him. If not there's always the great porcelain god!!!!!!!!1

I had an emrald that would munch on my Stylophora... They both are very similar corals being that they are "fuzzy"

You can bring it to the meeting tomorrow, I'll give it a good home in the lagoon.

trap em

Time for the small jar full of mysis Ed you will have him in no time at all

Ed I have 4 emerals in my 75 SPS tank and all they do is clean around the bases of the Acropora's... If you drop a little nori inthere he might just switch to it
