Johnny...I was mostly kidding...my shrooms are going nuts and I could use a shroom-eating crab to keep them in check!

So the answer is the ones that read the books don't and then you have the nonreaders that do.

well, it seemed that they ate the ones that are "damaged" from fragging them. I am going to make a cool frag tank this weekend anyway so nobody can bother them.

I'm pretty certain I read in the Delbeek and Sprung book that it was supposed that Mithrax crabs ate valonia bubble algae, but not entirely proven. I had never seen any of my mithrax eating bubble algae at the very least.

i actually did one night when the moon lights were on. he might have found it by accident or he was looking to eat it. never saw them eat it again though.
