Hello everyone,

They're probably some sort of "pod". It's basically impossible for us to tell you what it is without a picture. In the meantime you can try to use this to figure out what you've got.

Generally speaking, yes, they're normal. There are a few "bugs" that can be problematic, but they're not nearly as common as the beneficial varieties.

Hope that helps,

Chris

I recently bought two emerald crabs from a local pet store.  They are eating algae like crazy from my rock, snails, and hermit crabs.  I have noticed a few microscopic "fleas" on its shell and legs.  Are these normal or something to be concerned?]]> Tue, 15 Mar 2005 13:09:40 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5772&PID=57375&title=emerald-crabs-with-fleas#57375
