emerald crabs

Are they always green? Or can they be like a slate color?
And yes emeralds do the trick.

But I heard emerald crabs will only eat them when they are really small?Its really bad and it already killed my open brain coral.Is there anything else I can do??

anyone??

Only other solution is roll them off with your fingers but try not to break them.

I have done this a number of times but each time i clear them they come back within a few weeks.

My emerald crabs haven't touched the bublle algae. The seem to be feasting on the other macro algae's though.
