Decorator Crab

[lastlight]

I'm with Lance. I've tried giving all manner of crabs a chance or two over the years and now I'm thru. When my hermits pass on I won't even replace them.

Too bad. I love crabs.

I do have a Hermit that really is starting to be a pain in arse.....Stomps all over my Tougue Coral.... doesn't seem to hurt it but I don't like it. I'm always yelling at him for one reason or another. I usually toss him in the back behind the rocks ...... maybe crabs ARE EVIL!!!!. I'll go for some pep shrimps instead lol

Haha that's too funny as I have a large one I also always yell at. I call the wife over and say "watch this.".

I toss fodd in and no matter where he is he charges OVER everything. He'll get to the edge of the outcrop and simply let go and fall onto the sand. What really chokes me is that he doesn't like to crawl across the sand. He'll make sure he moves OVER every last coral and polyp on the sandbed. A few times I have yanked him to either toss into the back and once to simply get rid of. My daughter comes around the corner at that very moment and i quickly turned the shell around.

"Daddy what are you doing?"

"I'm just taking this shell out..."

"But big Joe is in the shell"

*CRAP!!*

And so back in he went. I told the bastard that she had just saved his life...for now!

I've visualized more than once mine being throw out the front door onto the street and maniacally waiting on the step for him to be run over......I have to make sure the cleaner shrimp is feed Mysis first before any of the corals or he goes on a rampage actually pulling food right out of the Duncans mouth....Damn inverts and crustaceans.....lol
