Hmm.... They probably don't feel temps the exact way we do, but they must feel temps in some manner. If they didn't, the same species of crab/fish/coral/whatever would be found in a variety of different temp zones in the oceans and seas, which is not the case.

You're right that they have blood, and it's red, too. I found that out with the rock and a hard place killing method with that crab the other day

I suppose it's easier emotionally for some folks to put a creature in the freezer then take them out dead in a day or two, even though no one really knows how the freezing process actually affects the creature during the process. I, for one, would nevr do it that way. Seems like it would prolong death, especially compared to a single good whack that'll kill instantly. Geez, now I sound like a hitman, which, is not even near how I feel about killing animals

Tried to catch the second crab in our reef last night, but was unsuccessful. Then I had bad dreams all night about different methods of killing the poor guy and the thing just would not stop moving no matter what was done to it

What a gruesome f**cking topic
