Yes. They eat hair algea and bubble algea.

But sometimes, they eat corals.

I had one in my tank, so far it didn't feed on any of my corals.

I have 3 emerald crabs in my tank. So far they haven’t eaten corals, bubble algae, green hair algaes. They only touch my macroalgae which makes them useless in my tank
