    Emerald crabs will climb all over corals and look like they are bothering them but I have 5 of them and every day I see them running all over the place all over the corals but in the last year have not bothered them at all. I have red sea xenia and they stay far away from them.

    my big one just flip over my kenya tree rock.. he's only cleaning the rock.. but when they get big they have a tendency to be clumsy.. now if I could train him to put the coral back upright. that would be kool.
