Dead Cwabby!!!!!

I have an Emerald Crab that I found dead in the back of my tank..........will he foul the water??????Should i break down the tank to get him out????? Dang!

one crab shouldnt do anything to your water quality.... what size tank do u have how much rock and time its been up kinda depicts what happens.... ive had fish go missing in action and i didnt tear the tank apart to find them.... as long as you have an established tank with a good filter system it should be fine.... maybe run some carbon if your tank is newer and smaller but one crab shouldnt hurt anything imo

Tank is 12 days old. Fully cycled 3 days ago. 55 lbs cured LR. For Filtration i have 125 wet dry and a 350 magnium canister. the tank is 37 gal.

I wouldnt worry. I had an Emerald die and I had a YT Damsel die and everything in my tank lived. I have a 55 gallon with 110 lbs of live rock in it. Plus, I have a 400GPH filter, 2 450 GPH power heads. I dont know what you have, but my guess is that one tiny little crab wont foul your water up...
Go buy another, throw him in there and he'll eat the other one in no time flat

Hmmm. 12 days is mighty young for a tank. I let mine cycle for almost two months. What else is in your tank? Give it some time and add sloooooowly. My .02.
