Default Bad ass crab

I have a Big Bad-ass hermit crab who bullies all who cross his path. His shell is the size of a manderine orange. Does anyone have a need for such a beast? If so, I'd gladly replace him with some smaller detrivours.

My other crabs and snails will cheer the day he is gone.

I really like those big hermits, but they certainly do have a reputation. Not that it's your fault, but a lot of the stuff your preferred LFS sells has a reputation.

You have no idea! I bought tree originally and he killed the other two. Now he's triple the size he was when I bought him. I'd rather have a bunch of little crabs doing just as much work.

Probably not an animal that is ideal as a cleaner regardless. I expect they are carnivores except when available options leave them no choice.

Default Zubotus Maximus

I think you should start up a new display for him and name him "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown."
