I love Emerald Crabs, they are awsome and are survivors, i had a tank crash 2 weeks ago because the ac in my house crapped out because it was too hot out for it to keep up and it tripped the breaker. Tank got up to 90F before i got home to find all my corals and shrimp dead, all that was left was kenya trees, waving hand coral, emerald crabs and hermits (nothing can kill those Bas#9rd)

Blue legged hermits are bad? Should i get rid of the ones i have i my tank? I saw a bizarre looking crab the other night, it looks like an emerald crab and had red claws. It was only picking stuff from the rocks and i set a trap (shot glass with a piece of shrimp inside) which it completely ignored (although several blue leg were in it in the morning)

Its not so much they are bad, just carnivorous. If there,s plenty of food for them they may be fine, if not they will find it one way or another. Plus as they grow, larger shells are needed for homes. Keep a good supply of old snail shells for them helps.
