I used to have one that consumed my whole colony of zoas. After that I decided no more crabs in my tank.

I have 4 emeralds in my tank and not one touched my zoos.. They eat the junk around the zoos but never the zoos...\

I say tomato some say tomoto, some will and some won't, I have seen some eat whole colonies, of paly's and zoas, I have seen some co-exist in harmony with both, so your best bet, is don't get one. Thats all.
