[Coral-List] Cryptochiridae

[Elizabeth Neves]

Dear 'list',

Our studies focus on the specificity bewteen coral hosts and their symbionts
relying on aspects of the reproductive biology and primary development of
the cryptochirids. We are trying to remove gall-crabs from their cavities
without injuries. It is a hard task!  We would be grateful for any protocol
which may help us to remove them alive.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth
