Algae Eating Emerald Crab (Mithrax sculptus)

Emerald crabs are general algae eaters and a good scavenger for any reef aquarium. They have been noted to eat various algae in the reef tank like hair algae, macro algae and even bubble algae. They are primarily herbivores but since they are also scavengers they will even eat uneaten fish food.
