Hey listen, Don't freak out I have always kept a SLF Crab in my reef and I have never had any problems What is the Coral that she is picking at? It may just be collecting some stuff off of the coral I would not worry about her eating the coral I have never seen mine do anything but pick crap off of everything in the tank.

He didnt look like he was just getting stuff off the coral. He was sticking his claws into the coral and picking at it. He was also biting it. | |

hey I have a question I only have about four or five pieces of live rock. If I removed all the live rock and put it i a bucket would the live rock survive?
And how long can the sails, crabs, etc live if they get taken out on the rock? | |

Use the chop stick, and if that don't work, use a bamboo skewer like the ones use on shiskabob, or however you call those sticks, and if that doesn't work, I would just take the rock out like Iraf stated, and stick it in a fresh water bucket, and if you don't want to get bit by it do the little crab trap deal, must aquatic critters do not see clear vinyl like the one used for table cloth covering it is 100% clear. I used it before on nets to collect fish with,
they never knew what happen...lol >))))*> >))))*> | |

but if i took the live rock out and put it in an empty bucket would that be okay?
And keep in mind some snails or hermits attached to the rock may be pulled also | |

And he was definitely attacking it not picking algae off of it. He is gone now. All he did was cause me stress I can live w/o him | |
