Does anyone have a clue what he is eating???
OK so I never have trusted Crabs. Well a while back I busted a bubble algae so after a while some Emeralds became necessary. And yes mine did eat the Bubble crap all up.
So now in my tank I have several of these guys. While watching one in the back of the tank this
evening I saw him messing with these Zoa's. So what the heck is that white stuff he is eating
from my Zoas?????
It looks like droplets. Seems strange drops in the water, must be thicker stuff. OK wife is sitting
here no white stuff jokes please LOL...................Warren

Are you asking about the white tip on his claws?
I believe this is what their claw looks like... and is not something they are eating. He's probably picking some coraline off the rock. I doubt he's doing any harm... they seem to be rather easy going.
