![]() So its sounding like emerald crabs are more of crapshoot than they are advertised to be. Has anyone had success using emeralds? By the sounds of it, most people had to resort to manual removal to get rid of this algae.

![]() I have the same problem and bought 4 emerald crabs but they seem to eat all the other easily acessible algae first.

![]() Yeah, that's what I have been noticing with my emeralds too, that they go after any algae (or coral polyps....) without touching the valonea.

![]() A related question: How do you be rid of it when it is right on your coral? I have a small bubble that always comes back on my hammerspawn and am scared to try harsher methods due to it being so close to the head/polyps.

![]() Is it far enough away to shield the polyps with a oyster shell, or even cut a piece of plastic as a shield.
