    Default Emerald crab eating a dead fish...

    Caught a little "circle-of-life" action in my aquarium yesterday. I had a small shrimp goby pass on to the great-reef-in-the-sky and noticed that an emerald crab was making quick work of the remains.

    Took a grainy video with my Canon G3 camera. It's about a minute long. Not terribly exciting, but kinda cool

    Yeah, it's a biggun... I got 4 with my cleanup crew. One has since passed (drawn butter anyone?), one is in the refuge, and the other 2 should be in the display somewhere.
