Gianormous Emerald Crabs

[zeeter]

I have two emerald crabs who are gigantic. I'm wondering if I should trade them in for smaller ones. They've done a good job cleaning, but I'm worried that they'll start looking at docile fish as food.

Mine has gotten just too big as well.
I don't worry about fish too much, but he does knock over corals alot, even glued down corals.
Sure did a great job on riding valonia though.
Maybe trade to someone w/ a serious valonia outbreak?

I hope my 3 emerald crabs get that big

Those are some big emerald crabs! If they've cleaned up what you needed cleaned up, it might not be a bad idea at all to trade them. I don't think you'll have to worry about the eating your fish. If you know anyone that needs one or both of them, you can probably get something decent in return as a trade, considering emerald crabs eating Valonia doesn't seem to be such a sure thing and you have some that you know will eat it (I'm guessing that's why you got them in the first place).
