NEW EMERALD CRABS: KIWI + BROCCOLI + AVOCADO

brad read that emerald crabs were good algae eaters so we picked up 3 over the weekend from blue sierra.  they're fairly big, w/ their body about the size of a dime/nickel, so i'm a little afraid for the smaller fish + our tiny little acro crab.  they're supposedly reef-safe, so cross your fingys that they don't end up snacking on the little guys.  :)

UPDATE: 2010-04-26
broccoli + kiwi died 2-3 days later.  not sure why.  avocado is doing well so i don't think it wasn't a case of improper temp/h2o acclimation.
