Sancho Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 This MOFO Emerald Crab was bothering Lucinda so its now in the timeout/refugium box Emerald crab bothering clams? Or just cleaning the shell? I couldn't tell. They are mother ####ers. Once the run out of stuff to munch on they go after coral flesh. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 They are mother ######s. Once the run out of stuff to munch on they go after coral flesh. Yep it's going back to the LFS! Are anemone crabs nicer? My anemones are out for delivery! Unfortunately I won't be home until 3:00, but it's a perfect 77* so I'm not too concerned Link to comment

blkhwkz Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yep it's going back to the LFS! Are anemone crabs nicer? My anemones are out for delivery! Unfortunately I won't be home until 3:00, but it's a perfect 77* so I'm not too concerned I have a porcelain anemone crab and no anemone for it and he just molted again today and has been doing great. They are fun to watch. Pretty much stays in the same general area, though last week he decided to check out the other side of the tank for a day. Had him for about 4 months and he molts almost monthly. Broadcast feed reef roids or Rod's and it's fun to watch him reaching out in the water trying to grab whatever he can. If I use a turkey baster and direct feed by him he reaches up and tries to grab the baster tip. Link to comment

I'm sure yours will suck in comparison I think my emerald crab died when I put it into the breeder box Don't really understand why, maybe it broke when I siphoned it into the bucket. Oh well Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 you sure it died and didn't just molt? Yep. 100% dead. Same as all my hermits. Weird. No point panicking as I sometimes do, just carry on and water changes once a week. Link to comment

spectra Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think we worked out a deal... 10 pack heading my way... after I pay for them Better ask what size.....I just got 20 and I think Harry got all the good ones.....mine were stragglers at the bottom of the barrel Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Better ask what size.....I just got 20 and I think Harry got all the good ones.....mine were stragglers at the bottom of the barrel Any pictures? As in small? Or not cool colors? One of mine is the size of a dime, two like a nickel, the rest nice sized (~2"). Mine was literally "The last box" he shipped according to his post. Bummer.

HarryPotter Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 When they are closed they are terrifyingly small... Like a pencil eraser. I felt like I was killing it by picking it up gently. Link to comment
