how to clean a crab?(not for dinner)

sw_addicted · 02-21-2004, 12:43 PM

Last week we bought a calico crab that is about 5 inches and a beautiful addition to our 29g tank. Well it has a sand bottom that is kept impecably clean by a orange spotted goby and the glass is alway clean other then coraline scraped weekly. Now the crab has a brown algae film on his back and I dont think he is going to shed anytime soon. So I was wondering if there is a animal that will clean him without becoming a meal?
