green emerald crab= reef safe?

[Mappelbaum37]

I've had 5 green emerald crabs for about 1-2 months now. This one crab, the same one every time (I can tell by the size of it) goes to the torch coral and looks like its picking at it. When the lights are on, all corals including the torch look amazing, but towards night time the crab is either sloppily cleaning around the torch, or eating the torch. I can't really tell. I assume that since the torch is doing fine there's nothing to worry about, but I don't want to take any chances.

Thanks

emerald crabs are oportunistic meat eaters---they won't eat your corals--probably just scrounging
