Emerald Crab

[wwest]

ok i just bought a emerald crab. shortly after aclimation i put him on the sand bed and he went straight to the green hair algae i have, i was so happy.. however my maroon clown, 6 line wrasse, and scooter blenny all began snapping at the crab. he shot off into the corner and hasnt moved. i know he is still alive and not going to die but should i worry about the fish snapping at him? or maybe even killing him? i have read they are reef safe but are they fish safe?

he should be fine, that is a common reaction. the fish will get used to him.

ok cool. the way my clown has been acting lately i was close to getting rid of him for snapping at the crab lol. kinda like a last draw lol

just get a marine safe fat magic marker and write "Back -Off" on his back, that should sort the problem..lol

they can hide for a while sometimes.....especially if they are molting.

thats cool.

He will be out. Both of mine come out once during the day (usually right after feeding the tank) and then they come out an hour after sundown weither the moon is out or not.

I love to watch mine, but if they see me coming they stop and sit still for a while. And if I continue to move around alot they go back and hide. Come to think of it, most of my friends do the same thing!

this morning i woke up early and did alittle navy seal tactics and i did see him he was going after my hair algae like he had 5 minutes to live (i love him for that) i took a few pictures but none turned out good. maybe i can get some tomorrow morning lol
