I have been told that you might try and get a female emerald crab, that they are more docile than the males.

The male will have what looks like a triangle or pointy tower look on his underside, where the female doesn't.
 
oh ok. just like the blue crabs we use down on the surf. hmmmm, now i gotta go catch me a few crabs. lol
 
Never had luck with emerald crabs eating bubble algae. Tried several of them and they showed no interest.[/QUOTE]


Does bubble algae look like metal balls? Mine is starting to spread and my crab pays no attention. How do I pick it off without spreading it?

Thanks for any help

Phil
