    I've actually never really had problems with cyano, so IDK.......Blue legs are Atlantic, Can you get them is AU? Or are you talking about the Pacific kind?[​IMG]

    Well the Atlantic Blues are less than a dollar here but, the Pacific are almost $10(U.S.) I looked a little and LiveAquaria says both eat Cyano

    Is there any pacific crab that you could get that eats bubble algae? I could ship emeralds to you from my Lfs but, they would come in dead :-/

    Im not 100% of any others. I will continue to look. At least I know that I can get any blue hermits and they will prob eat cyano.

    I know a few red species dont eat cyano and are not as reef safe.

    They probably wouldn't get past customs as well. I have never heard of anything besides emeralds that eat bubble algae......Scarlet hermits are good for other algae, I don't think they eat cyano. They are less.....feverish then the blues though
