The Saltwater Emerald Crab is a great addition to any aquarium and is reef safe. They eat bubble algae and are very easy to take care of. Ample food needs to be present for them though as they will clean all the bubble algae out of the aquarium. Supplementing seaweed or chopped meaty food will suffice for them. They are also scavengers and will clean out most organic debris from the aquarium.

The emerald and ruby mithrax crabs I bought from you arrived well and are growing and gobbling up the algae at an amazing rate. Every one should have some of these.

Ed of Valrico, FL Review of Emerald Crabs
I ordered two of these fellows and both arrived alive and well. I put them in my tank and they seem to be doing just fine. Another great purchase from Reefs2Go and fast service.
Melissa King of Ventura, CA Emerald Crab Review
These Emerald "mithrax" crabs are the BEST for removing unwanted hair algae. They pretty much keep to themselves, and are fun to watch!
