I got some bubble algea and learned emerald crabs will get rid of it. So I added one to the tank about two weeks ago. Some of the algea was going away, and it certainly stopped spreading, so though nmot gone, it definitly had been contained. Three days ago I added some corals that had been in QT for 40 days. I added a torch, a duncan and zoa's.
Today, I saw the crab around the top of the torch, and didn't think much of it. Checked a couple of hours later and he was in the same spot, so I poked him with a prong, and found out he was dead. I'd like an emerald crab in the tanks for bubble algae. But wondering what happened before adding another. Did he die of not enough food? Did the torch sting him to death? Any thoughts?
