Is it true that as emerald crabs age and mature they turn black??
I was at the LFS today and i told the guy to check if he had any emeralds left because i couldnt see any in their invert tank. He looked around and showed me this big mofo black crab, like almost the size of a silver dollar and said that it was an emerald that was just matured.
I think he was just trying to make a sale because ive never heard of any black emeralds... also, would an emerald that big be a threat to fish/other inverts? or do most emeralds stick to algae/detrius?
