I had a handful of chaeto in my sump, a few weeks ago I had to remove my sallylightfoot crab from my main tank because he started attacking fish. He's been cleaning up the sump.....to extreme standards. Over night he's eaten the whole clump of chaeto! He hasn't really been touching it but got up...

This is Eric's wife... And he brought home a Sally Lightfoot crab like we agreed he could get to help get rid of our algae issue. The thing is UGLY and SCARY! I am totally OK with somebody coming to get it when he isn't here and I'll just tell him it must have died!! LOL, OK, not really, I'm...

Any suggestions on why a Sally Lightfoot crab would be losing legs?

So I get home, ready to put my Sally Lightfoot Crabs in the tank. Hadn't need my fuzzy lion in a couple days, so I went looking for him. Normally he hides, so it can take a while. Much to my dismay, he's lying on the floor behind the tank, like a piece of fish jerky.:cry: Hadn't seen or...
