Emerald Crab won't move

[el-reefo]

Guys,

one of my emerald crabs came to the front of my tank, up against the glass, it would appear to be eating as he moves his mouth, but he won't move from its place since last night... Is he sick?

most likely not, have you tried moving him yourself to see what he does.

put my peacock mantis in there...he will move

If I get my hands in there, he seems to react and try to move about an ich in the opposite direction, but then he stays stagnant yet again.

_BTW, I saw a video on YouTube of some guy feeding a Mantis Shrimp with an Emerald Crab, and I thought that it was merciless. Not my type of Shrimp. they do have beautiful colors though...

Here it is...(Warning, it's very National Geographic)

Well, these people are on the Emerald Crab's side:

LOL. I don't know how they taste, but they seemed a little too excited for some shrimp...

try feeding hi with a piece of shrimp or something, if he'll eat he is probley ok. is strange for him to stay in a spot like that in the light, mine hide mostly in darker areas if they are out during the day.
