Got my emerald crab

he's floating in the bag right now, my male clown is harrasing it and making the crab kind of mad lol i'm hoping it won't go after any fish, inverts or corals and will eat all of my bubble algae. If it harms anything, it will loose it's pinchers and become puffer food wish me luck

 

here are some pics, he's scary looking, i don't like him

 

another pic, that's the area where i dropped him which is one of the areas that the bubble algae is growing, he's on his back right now but still moving so i think he'll be able to right himself. i think he's made this spot his temporary home

 

He looks good to me

if he eats your bubble aglae for you, you will grow to like him

Gah I still hate mine

 

i hope so, if he's on his back will he be able to right himself? i tried to use the handle of my net to flip him over but then he just craweld deeper under the rock, i know he's able to move while on his back, i just don't want him to die from not being able to flip himself back over

 

lol i didn't realize how ugly they were until i saw them in the bag, they didn't look as bad in the DT at the LFS but are FREAKY looking up close!

 

Yes IME , crabs that flip over can get back upright

Mine is annoying he moves things and eats new coraline growth I may end up just smashing him if I can't get him out

 

ok just making sure, i'm always having to flip over my snails, and i really don't want to have to mess with the crab
