Mithrax / Emerald Crab (Ruby)

This crab is very often used against an algae or valonia plague. They are fairly small crabs, they grow to about 5 cm, and often hide under the stones. The animals often come out of their holes at night and start eating algae, but they also eat frozen food and flake food.

Crabs, like lobsters and shrimps, only have an external skeleton that becomes too small as they grow, once every few days they crawl out of this skeleton and hide until the new skeleton has hardened, during this time the animal is very vulnerable and will hide.
