first sw set up

[mamalj]

I am new to the world of saltwater. I have kept fresh for years and have wanted to do salt for years and finally got one! It is a 9 gallon nano that I'm doing reef in. I have 10lbs of LR in there and about 8-9lbs of live sand. I just this weekend put in my first frags. I put in a galaxea, frogspawn, goniopora, and kenya tree. I have also added an emerald crab and a turbo snail to help with algea. I have since found out the my goniopora is a difficult coral to keep. So I'm hoping I can pull it off!

My crab seems to be picking at my frogspawn... is that normal? I'm worried he's going to kill it.
