!SPS Ate Emerald Crab!

Okay, not really.

But I did find one of my emerald crabs dead in a purple digi tonight.

SPS can't kill crabs can they?

Is it possible he just died from old age?

The tank parameters are all fine and nothing else has died that I can see. Im not too worried about it but I figured Id just check to see if this could be sign of something else being wrong.

Any thoughts?

Maybe it was just a molt. They so look like a dead crab, I still freak out.

Check and see if the trunk opens You'll see what I mean

Fick-n-Frags,

Thanks for the suggestion. But Im sure it was not a molt. Ive seen plenty of molts in the past. Ive also seen plenty of dead crabs. In the marshes, rivers and on the beach of course. Not my tanks. The body was definatly hard unlike a relatively soft and fragile molt.

scottybythesea,
