Default Are Emerald crabs bad?
Do Emerald crabs tend to eat snails and invertebrates? We just bought one and now I am second guessing the purchase.

according to everything I have read, emerald crabs are considered reef safe.

if they get hungry enough they may eat some polyps but they are mostly reef safe
