Last night I was feeding my LPS, & I have 2 fem emerald crabs in my tank. I hung out longer than usual, because some of my corals haven't been eating as eagerly or expanding as much during the day. I'm so glad I did, about 1/2 hour after I fed my acanthasrea lord, my emerald crab grabbed a polyp w/both claws & ripped it in half! It ate the food, then started to eat the torn tissue. This crab is such a good algae eater, and I was hand feeding her everyday also. I've always been told things like 'I don't trust any crabs, they're such an opportunistic lot'. I never had a problem, but this is my first set up with many lps I handfeed. The worst part is I don't know if I should take this crab back to my LFS, what if it gets sold to a hobbyist w/LPS? Anyway, just something else you might want to watch out for if you have any inverts w/claws...

I wish I could! My husband's camera quit on us, all I have are some crummy pics in my gallery taken a little after tearing down my ol' 55g & rescaping the nano. I think this pic is the closest to showing the mouth http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showp...?photo=134373, you can't actuall SEE it, but the center area is mostly mouth...Sorry!
