    That is crappy & sorry to hear of the loss.

    I hate to be that guy, but its a little 50/50 responsibility on this one. It's always essential to have good solid and most importantly anchored rockwork. Its even more so important when you have inverts involved. Emeralds are strong but also fairly small, so the rock might not have had the best postioning from the go.

    Ouch! Wow, how big was this emerald? Try using a bit of Corafix to cement rocks.
