very possible, they are related to gorilla crabs, which do eat sps

Did you buy my emerald?

I got on Friday and by Monday it had taken bites out of my palys, clam and even RFA tentacles. When I caught it red clawed with a torch polyp in it's mouth, I yanked it out... Then dropped it off at Tong's!

Nah, I got them from reef cleaners, I still have 5 in the tank right now, hopefully the other 5 will the job their supposed to. I will definitely keep an eye on them.

Oh that's unfortunate. All of my emeralds from ReefCleaners have been pretty good (although one has been territorial). The misbehaving one I had was from AquaSD. Actually best worker for bubble algae out of all of them, but would munch on everything else too.
