Walking Sponge
 
I bought this weird sponge crab yesterday at Dragon Aquarium in Mississauga. Its the strangest thing I've ever seen. Its a crab with sponge growing on its back. The eyes of the crab comes out of the sponge. It must be a sponge decorator crab or something (and no, that is NOT a brown Acro in the background. It is a dead Acro even though there is no algae growing on it).

Sam, I thought you had angel fish in your tank? Won't they pick at the sponge?

Danny. My 2 dwarf angels don't bother any of my sponges.
