Caught ya!

I’ve got a couple of emerald crabs in QT along with one remaining peppermint shrimp. Once they molt you can move them over to the DT so I watch them closely so I can move them right over. One of the peppermints molted and I had a hard time figuring out which one it was. Yesterday I thought I saw two emeralds mating and grabbed my camera. Then I saw a third emerald crab… huh!? Then it hit me… it molted! Amazing how much bigger it is after the molt.

great!!! so those are okay to put in a reef tank?

Yep. Emerald crabs are reef safe. Although all crabs are opportunistic feeders so you should use some caution.

thanks for info
