So the past couple days my crabs (red legged, blue legged and emrald) have been hanging out on my daisy polyps frags and I looked closer and the emrald was ripping off polyps and eating them, I added in a piece of nori and he ate a little but today I found a polyp floating around the tank! What do I do!? I put the nori in and they don't eat!:angryfire: is there anyway I can take them out and replace with snails? Cuz they just keep bugging all of my frags and snails!
Why are my crabs eating my daisy polyps!?

Emerald crabs are not totaly reef safe. Something they get a taste for and thats it they will eat it from here on out. Serpant stars are know for doing as good a job on clean up as hermits with less load on your tank. You will probly have the trap the emerald crab. Cut the neck off of a plastic coke bottle turn the neck around and stick it in the bottle. Put some food and something to weigh it down. I also put fishing string on mine so I can remove it with out sticking my hand in the tank.
