I picked up a Skunk Back yesterday, ran a drip line for an hour, gently placed in into my tank. As it swam down and landed on a rock, my emerald crab reached out, snatched it and ate it right in front of me.....UGH!!!!!
 
I didn't think that would happen. I keep my emerald well fed with Omega Seaweed. Plus I figured it was just a scavenger and would only eat something in the tank if it died. Now I'm nervous to buy anything new with that crab in there....
 
Several years ago, I bought 2 Fire Shrimp and 2 Cleaner shrimp to the tune of $100.
Acclimated, put them in and they were fine. An hour later, I looked and there were pieces everywhere. My yellow Wrasse massacred them all.
