Some trigger'll be happy, anyway. It is the cycle of life, afterall.

Unless someone can pick him up. We're downtown. Easy to get to from any place in the city. And he's a freebie, what more can you ask?

We glimpsed a second hitchhiker crab last night deep deep DEEP in the rock, so if we can catch that guy, there'll be two to go.

Well, saved a shrimp today anyway....

Steve, why do you say that? I spent a long time on RAMR and learned a lot. There are good people there and not so good people there, just like everywhere else.
In fact, that's where I met EmilyB

Oh, and I agree, the crab is probably not a good choice to leave in the tank. I don't think trigger food is the right choice, but......

Just for future reference Beverly, if you every have to put something down that's from your tank. The most humane way to put down a fish or other creature would be to place it in a container with some tank water and place it in the freezer. I have only had to do this one, when first starting out. Most cases though, there is usually a second choice other than putting it down.

cheers, Rich

Just caught the little begger going after the star polyps I put in the tank today. So, he's outta the 2.5 and in a plastic container sitting on top of the 42. He's a baddy, that one And he's gone tomorrow, one way or the other.
