    Well as soon as I find the punk he will be finding himself a home in the sump!! There is a small stub on the rock do you think the Xenia will grow back?

    I, too, have heard of emerald crabs picking at Xenia.

    I asked if anemerald crab would eat Xenia last year and I was told Xenia are toxic, so no. However, I am about 99% sure it was him.

    I'm pretty sure it was him after inspecting my green star polyp frag it looks as its been chewed on and I've been told that they will eat them so I'm in agreement with you on the emerald mowing down the Xenia
    :( I'm saddened about this if anyone has and Xenia frags they would like to part with let me kno..... I drove 45 min one way for that baby and would like another one cause it was a very nice addition to my tank
