Mithrax sculptus
The Green Emerald Crab is a good herbivore. They are reputed to eat
valonia (bubble algae), although I've never personally witnessed this and there is still
valonia in my tank. He does sit and pick in the rocks all day, as I caught him doing in
this picture, and I have seen him eating hair algae. There have been reports of these
crabs eating polyps and capturing small fish, although there is also confusion about
whether they were actually mithrax species. Be cautious and observant when placing one in
your tank. |
