Well i caught my emerald two days ago because i swore it was eating my polyps and zoo's. I put it into my intank refuge(the prision).
Then at 12pm i was looking at the pods, brittleworms and unknown worms which i thought was a stalk of macro algae. All of a sudden, a white crab pops out of no where, grabs that worm that looked like a stalk of macro algae, shoved it into its mouth and ate it!!
I quickly grabed it and put into the intank refuge with the emerald. it was easier then catching the emerald because it did not attach its legs to the rocks like the emerald.
The only rocks i have put into the tank that would be huge enough for that crab to hide in was the rocks i used to cycle the tank... since Jan!!!! My chromsis(3) and my firefish went missing or found dead on the floor since i set up my tank.
Well im guessing my polyps were eaten by the emerald, i think that crab attacked/spooked/killed my missing fishes.
I do not have a photo right now, i will post it asap when i can. It looks similar to an emerald crab except smaller and looks more an emerald except it is has a vanilla colored body with dark brown spots on its shell and on its legs. Its arms are white except the pinchers are darkbrown and its sharp, not blunted like an emerald.
