mane3215 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I was looking at my new x-mas rock I picked up this evening, and noticed there are little crabs living in three of the holes. Anyone know what they are? Is it normal to see crabs living in these holes? They look a little like hermit crabs using the hole as a shell or something. Here is a link to a high res of the rock: Hi Res Rock Link to comment
Graywolf57 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Cool, I like the Hi Res shot. Looks kinda like hes looking out his brownstone (ok porite) window as the world goes by. Link to comment
Graywolf57 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Oooops didn't see the other little guy on the left side....looks like they are talking to each other. Probably planning an assination on the giant blue legged beast seen in their neighborhood. Link to comment

Angel Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/main_page...s/faq_rock2.htm has some photos of hitchhiker crabs and tells some about them. It seems to be, the hairier it is, the worse it is. Link to comment
