From our species guide
In plain words: The Emerald Crab is a small crab that is shiny green, like a jewel. Its back is flat, its legs are a bit hairy, and its claws look like tiny spoons with white tips.
Emerald crabs pick at nuisance algae, especially Valonia bubble algae. They are generally reef safe, but larger crabs may get opportunistic if underfed, so keep algae or supplemental food available.
