Probably the coolest thing in my reef...

Yaya I got it before christmas at J&L. He's doing well! And what's best is the coral is doing well also.

Wow that is awesome!! What a cool looking critter

[JJB84]

and please ignore the obvious reddish hues of cyano in my sand :P

wow, very cool! What happens when he falls off a rock and lands upside down ?

[ScubaSteve]

Exactly what you think happens. Ha. I've heard that can be a downsideto these cool little guys. Actually, they ain't that little. I saw them and wanted one but I'm pretty sure it'd redecorate my nano tanks.

Those are so cool! Nice critter! How long have you had it?

I dont want to be a downer though, but I hope people dont go out buying tons of these. I hear they dont usually do very well, and I know a few people who have tried them to no avail.

Good Luck Diana! Im sure yours will do well

Cheers,

Chris

Goes well with his eyes!
very cool guy !

Very cool, I've never seen one before so thanks for sharing

Yup we had some in awhile back.....very neat relationship indeed......the shell is actually harder to take of than the crab.....very difficult to keep them in a reef tank, as they get hung up and trapped quite easily, probably would make a better addition to a fuge.....great pic!
