| Bryozoan | Re: emerald crabs most inverts molt lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc. thats what you saw i have never had crabs reproduce, and you should not see two live emerald's right by each other because they fight i have a sure way of checking to see if a dead looking shrinp or crab is really a dead crab or just a shell take it out of the tank and smell it you will know right away if it is a dead animal |
