i used to have nothing but good things to say about emerald crabs. i have 1 in my 55g with tons of live rock and he was a model citizen. the other day i nothed my coral beauty was missing a fin and i had no idea why. i thought maybe my aggressive damsel was picking at him. today im on the phone and i look over to see my Em. crab had a vice grib on the beauty!. i poked and prodded with a rod but that didnt work. i had to stick my hand in and separate them... long story short, i want him out. will he be okay in the sump??? are there "crab traps" to get these things out without destroying the tank? i tried getting to him but everytime i lifted the rock he was in he moved to another. sucks too cuz i really liked him he was probaby in my top 5 favs in the tank
