WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG!!
 

So my son glued his zoas into place where he wanted them. Next thing you know, the emerald crab runs over and stuck his pincher in the glue!!! Now his pincher is glued open…sigh…now he's hiding under the rocks so we can't even help him. Any suggestions?

Tip: Never ask what else can go wrong :)

he will be fine :)

if it really comes down to it he has a trick to shake the glue;PPP

What trick? Wow, we are so beginner...

Crabs molt. He'll just exit shell and be done with it :)

+1. Yup my emerald n shrimps molt once a week. Urs will be fine

Thanks everyone! We should delete this thread, this is so embarrassing...

Not embarrassing, you had a concern and a question... Now both are resolved. Kinda what forums are for!

Personally I would rather ask a question if I am not sure rather than panic or worse

Im going to say with reading your recent posts that you should relax and just enjoy the experience instead of stressing about everything. Your crab will be fine.

Truest words I have read in a long, long time!!!

As an aside, Scuba gal, where did you find the emeralds? I could use a few myself lately..

Not to hijack but Big Als had some, was there Sunday.

Trying to relax...trying. And also got the emerald crab at Big Al's.

Wanna know wat a real embarrasing question would be? "Does saltwater needs salt in the water?"....<- THAT! Not the question you have posted :lol:

The panic attacks goes away with time...been there done that....well everyone over here have been there done that....some survive some don't....consider that as a part of being dedicated :smile:

A question about molting....do you leave the molted exoskeleton in the tank or remove it? I got a cleaner shrimp that molted on the weekend and I left the exo in. Next thing I know, the exo gets caught up in my powerheads and made a clouded mess in my tank. I didn't know what was going on until I saw a piece of the molted tail sticking out of the powerhead.

You can remove it if you want but I leave my moults in the tank they break down and some critters will eat it as well
