Thanks to Mark and Ty for the mantis food!
 

I just wanted to thank Ty (fishmanty) for the crab and Mark (allincuddy) for the snails he gave me yesterday. The crab hid right away and I wish him luck (not holding my breath), but the snails drew attention immediately.
After living on frozen krill for the last couple weeks, Ike poked his head out to find 15 plump snails right on his doorstep. He looked back and forth tying to make up his mind, then selected one and quickly pulled it into his cave. I left the office last night to the stuccato sound of dactyl-on-shell. Mark offered a great price and is a great guy to deal with. As soon as Ty finds another Ike-sized crab I will be back for it and some of his decorative macro algae.

Thanks guys!
Sincerely,
- Chad and Ike
