Pinchie the 2 year old emerald crab molted a couple of days ago. Figured I'd snap a shot of the molt after it dried. He's getting big....

Wowza. I had some bubble algae issues I put 3 emeralds in my tank to fix. They did. They also were seen again, about 2x the size in a month. I pulled them into the sump, as I saw them perched on my acros... eating what looked like polyps.

They were just trying to help you make room for more corals ;)

 

How big is that carapace?  Without a ruler there for scale it looks like it is 6 inches wide! 

What are you feeding him?

 

Another picture with a ruler would be nice. :)

He's an inch at the carapace, so he hasn't ventured into Chesapeake Blue Crab size yet. Considering he wasn't much bigger than a nickel (total size) when I got him, he's definitely growing quick. I must say, he's been a model citizen though (knock on wood).

LOL LOL You should have seen the crab we gave to Adam.  He was HUGE!

Wow, 4.5" from tip to tip. That thing is eating good :)

Pinchie is a bit of a hog. I'll have to try to get a pic during feeding sometime. He's not the least bit shy...
