    coral eating crab

    wow... i already lost one coral due to a brown fuzzy little crab that i got rid of. and now one of my other corals seems to be going. ive noticed there is a very tiny white and black crab that almost looks like an emerald, but this thing is tiny and white, does anyone know if this is whats causing the death of my corals?

    heres a pic

    I would think that this guy is a common "acro crab" and actually beneficial to the coral.
