I find little molts all the time in my ritteri cube. All the friggin' time. I know there is one big one in there with these massive black claws. Body is about 1" and the claws easily 1.5". I'll have to try to catch a picture of it one day, it's very quick to disappear if it's noticed so might be a tall trick to try that. I guess I now know where all my zoos went. My question is, how do they know which ones you spent the most money on, or the ones that are otherwise more rare than the others?

30" tall tank with a 20" anemone at the top of the rocks -- unless I get real lucky and he hides in a peripheral rock, removing rock isn't an option. Guess I'll have to explore alternative means. Disappointing to hear Interceptor won't work. I guess it's time to start designing a wee little crab trap.

Stupid crabs, what I don't get is how many there seem to be (the shells I see every week are always different sizes .. sometimes small sometimes big .. and different shapes too). I could be looking at at least 6 of them. I looked over every rock when I put it in, there was nothing to be seen. Stealthy little buggers!

I would have thought your wrasse would have had him on a plate tho

I'm sure your zoo's will be much happier too!

Rich, the shell on this thing is 2.5 inches across the shell . I think he would have had my wrasse for dinner. Although I wish my wrasse had found him as a young'un
