WM,

Mine measures slightly more than an inches across according to the shell

Could it becos it is growing too big

No doubts on its ability to free your tank from green algae

Perhaps as WM has mentioned

ITs too hungry now that all the green algae is gone

Diamond Watchman Goby will not have this problem

It will not bring the sand high up and release

Always perform his job at ground level

[ReDDeviLs]

This guy took out my plague of bubble algae, no regrets buying them...

IMO, emerald crab is much better.. Hope you know that you only get lanmower if your algae are growing beyong control so as to provide enough food for the landmower blenny....... They erdicate the algae population so fast that once theres no algae they will stay in the tank and starve to death........

[reeff]

where can I get the emerald crab? ML ? But ML closed til 2nd Dec? shucks.... Any where else ??

[linkiat]

so once the algae is gone, what can the emeral crab eat? that is what kind of food can we feed it?

does green plants in the tank work?
