I have a mithrax crab that i bought to rid my tank of bubble algae. it has found a hole and it never seems to want to leave. do you have an idea to try and coax him out or encourage him to eat the algae.

Most likely he comes out, but you never see him. Mine would come out in the middle of the night and roam the tank eating. During the day he would just hang out in the same spot munching down on things close to his home.

Ditto, look at your tank at 2 in the morning. You will be amazed at what you see.

should i get more crabs. Does lighting increase bubble algae growth.
