staghorn coral crab

[brifirst]

Anyone that has one, knows how cool they are. Problem is he is starting to get covered with algea. I am concerned if the algea builds up too much it will kill the coral, which I believe must be alive for the crab to live. I do not have a dark tank, only a 24 hour lighted refugium. I have tried to rub the algea off , but only a little comes off. I dont want to rub too hard.
Any thoughts ??
I know, I will try to get some pics soon

I don't know, maybe you should talk to Jay about this one.... his expertese on snail massage is unsurpassed, perhaps he can advise you on a Brazilian wax for a crab
