hhasty79 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Usually emerald crabs are okay. Just keep an eye on them, and make sure they are really emerald crabs ;-) Link to comment
SoS Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 some? how many and how bigs the tank? If they run out of alternatives you might have problems. In anything under 40 gallons I'd keep only one. There great on bubble algea, makes them worth the risk. Link to comment
Drysocket Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I caught mine eating some macro algae that I wanted to keep once. When I put in some Spectrum pellets, he quit, though. I think they probably only eat your stuff when there's nothing else readily available to them. If you toss a couple sinking food pellets in every couple days, you should be fine. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 that gives me hope that the one in my tank will work it's way thru my halimeda Link to comment
Deimos Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Only problem I've had with my Mythrax is that he scrapes down to bare rock...straight through coralline algae..which is why I have purple and white striped rock! lol. other than that..he's great! HTH Link to comment
