WHATS WRONG WITH THEM??????????!?!?!?!?!?
THE EVIL THINGS ARE FISH KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THEY PINCH PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THE BIGGER ONES WILL MESS WITH CORALS!!!!!!!!!!
On the plus side, they make an excellent treat for puffers, triggers, eels, rays, lions, and mantis shrimp, etc....

didn't read all the posts but people with problems with emeralds do/did you ever supplement feed them? I've never kept emeralds before and after my peppermints started eating a carpet I had I am very wary of claws in any size.
My emeralds have only attacked one snail that the skunk cleaner was already attacking. They feed on algae 24/7 but I still spot feed them every other day and they haven't messed with anything in the tank. I really am nervous about clawed creatures. Wondering if the supplemental feeding should keep them sedated.

crabs are evil, shrimp are thieves~
i control nutrient input carefully in my tank, so i dont have algae growing so no need for the crusty demons. sometimes i think shrimp are worse cause they steal food from corals to the point of tearing them or pestering them til they regugitate.
to me its more harmful to the tank to have them and to try and feed them.

I agree with 99% of everything posted on this thread,....however have never been able to subscribe to Witty's hate club 100% because of my love affair with this little crab,......it's the "Gaudy Clown Crab"(Platypodiella spectabillis).
It only grows to 3/4".
I have Never seen it do anything harmful to ANY of my tank inhabitants.
So yeah Witty I ate em all but this guy-Dave
