OK, I have a Green Emerald crab in my 10 gallon. I also have some hitchhiker crapbs and some shrimp. An anenome crab (banded clinging crab) a very small rock crab, a camel shrimp anda pepermint shrimp.
with the exception of the green emerald, all have molted at least once, and continue to do so. The green emerald has been in the tank the longest, and even has coraline growing on the top of his shell. I dont 'think' he is full grown, a hair over half an inch across on teh body.
Is this ok? Should I be worried? Does he need more iodine to molt than the others?
Also, I have never seen him clean up on algae before, but I have seen him eating the frozen brine shrimp, and he has tried to catch my fish (he was unsuccesful, at least so far, but it is only a matter of time till he catches one of the clowns sleepin on the sand)
