Emerald...caught in the act!!!

[ReefGimp]

Hmm, does this look like it could be bad for my formosa?? I didn't actually see his claws digging into the coral and I know my hermits like to climb it....but this is getting ridiculous...

I hope I don't have to try and catch this guy....

Advice/opinions???

Is the Acro damaged in any way? If not, leave it alone. My Mithrax climbs my Acros all the time.

Didn't look damaged last night...I am going to check on it when I get home...hopefully he is just an innocent bystander....

He's trying to push the frag over to its side to give you the better branching structure we talked about in another thread.

LOL! I got a kick out of that one, and I've had a bad day, so I needed it!


What camera did you use for the closeup of that crab? Nice macro shot.

My emeralds are also in my acros every night. Never seen any damage.

Thanks for the info...the camera is a Nikon Coolpix 5000...I'm still playing around with it trying to figure out the different settings for the best shot...

The crab does it every night now and the coral seems fine..polyps still extending during the day, etc...Just freaked me out the first time I saw it
