    Someone please tell me why this guy is doing this or what kind of crab he is? I thought he was a red legged crab, I never had a red leg do this. I pulled him back out of the sump but i guess he will go back in, I don't want white rocks.

    my electric blues scrape coraline off my rocks while feeding, But theres enough rock that it recovers in between getting scraped off...the small blue legs I had did not do that though so maybe try some of them

    You will have so much coralline in a year with correct parameters that you will be glad he eats some. Nothing to worry about.
