Looks like a normal nuisance crab. Emerald crabs are emerald green with smooth carapace and cheliped.

Hah, I have seen alot of them on my LR, hitchhikers, mostly reefsafe. They pick at algae mostly.

Yes when they are new.. They will slowly pluck out ur zoas 1 by 1 slowly.. n eat up ur sps if u have sps.

Tank Theme: Mixed Reef with clams

3 feet tank with IOS

Eheim 1262

K3 wavemaker x1

Lightings: T5 actinic blue x4 , T5 white x4

Skimmer: BMQQ

Artica 1/5

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

Try using a live rock with many holes.. do random chks on rock for crab by harvesting the rock up n check.
