redsea's 34g Reef Build

[Greenturtle]

I just ordered 2 more emeralds for my 90 gallon reef to take care of a small bubble algae problem. I love them!

I have several of them and they don't touch the green bubble algae. Had a breakout of it a few summers ago when my chiller went out and my MH bulbs were failing. Hate the stuff. Got the emeralds and they are very cool, but as eaters of the bubble algae, not so much.

Mine have already taken care of the bubble algae in a few days. They are so entertaining too!

Wish I could get mine to do that...

Glad everything worked out. I guess it all depends on the crabs personality, LOL.

Are there different types of bubble algae? If so, do you think that Emerald Crabs only eat a certain kind?

Thanks for posting!

Love the emerald. Are they ok with fire/blood shrimps?

Does that mean they are fighting over territory?

Guess what! I found a Red Mushroom on the other side of the tank of my "colony."

 

[redsea]

This is "The Shrimp Rock." LOL, they all love it, except for my Peppermint, he isn't social at all!

 

[redsea]

What are these things on my snail?

 

[Jlsardina]

Does he have a feather duster on him?

I know a few of mine do- it almost looks similar to their feathers
