What could do this to my Emerald Crab?
I just checked out my tank and saw that one of my Emerald crabs appears to be mutilated. He is missing a large claw, several legs and a chunk of shell (see picture).
What could do this? The only things I have in my tank (that I know of): 2 Emerald Crabs 4 Scarlet Hermits Cerith Snails Trochus Snails Astrea Snails 2 false percs I was going to take him out and euthanaze him but haven't yet. Dave

I don't have them yet. That's why it's a Tank Project
  But in all honesty, I can't wait!
