Emerald Crab

Mithraculus sculptus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Emerald Crab is known for its scavenging ability. It can feed on meaty foods and many types of algae, including bubble algae. It can be identified by its green, hairy legs. This nocturnal crab needs to be fed a different variety of food such as dried seaweed, shrimp, and fish food to ensure it does not feed on corals.

These inverts are for saltwater aquariums only.
