Too funny, I think everyone has this problem. The other day I finally attached all my frags to LR. Blasted crabs!

I'll get on that right away ned! wanna make bets

I found a dead zebra crab today. I'm finding about 2 dead crabs a week now.
I'm wondering if I should be replacing these crabs with snails or more crabs.

Are shells broken, or any holes in them? You might have a problem with hairy legs.Maybe hitchiker in form of crab. Any sounds overnight? Clicking?
