I see him once every couple months and he still has both pom poms as well. My little porcelain crab is gone though. I wanna get another one or two of them. 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Update! The crab was not abducted by aliens but did make a fantastic journey........ saturday evening I did a water change on my 75 gallon and spilled some water out of one of the buckets. I put the towel I dried the floor with in front of the washing machine in the kitchen. Sometime after lights out the crab must have crawled out of the tank and onto the towel. Before I went to bed I threw the towel in the machine to get it off the floor. After washing and drying the towels today I find this in the bottom of the dryer: 🙁 4 2 6 Quote Link to comment

Yeah I was bummed to know I was awake when he escaped. But had no reason to check my laundry for a crab. 🤷🏻♀️ Gotta figure out if I’m going to take it down or not. 2 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 For now this will be a holding area. Still haven’t decided if I want to keep it up yet. @Lula_Mae you ever find any branching gsp? If not, I got u: It has grown over the rock and attached to the wall of the 75 gallon......so I just cut the rock loose and put it in here for now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Not to hijack but put me down for some branching GSP when you get some extra after Lula. I think its so pretty It can probably survive priority too... I sent her a little nepthea and damn thing made it 5 days in the mail, indestructible. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
