i had a significant amount of bubble algae in my 92 gallon tank. i got two good sized emerald crabs and they did a great job eating all the bubble algae in the tank. however, i have noticed since all the bubble algae has been eaten, my bubble coral is not the same. i think my emeralds are picking at it because the bubbles on my coral look picked at.

has anyone had any similar experiences? if so, anyone know a good way to trap/catch an emerald crab without removing live rock?

thanks in advance...

I had an Emerald eat half a favia coral. I caught it in the act when I got home one day. I removed a small rock he was on to get him out.

Be patient and you will catch him.
