WHAT is the thing on its back? Is that an encrusted coral?!

Beauty of a pic!

Did you get that at J&L? I saw something like that there on the weekend

Yaya I got it before christmas at J&L. He's doing well! And what's best is the coral is doing well also.

Exactly what you think happens. Ha. I've heard that can be a downsideto these cool little guys. Actually, they ain't that little. I saw them and wanted one but I'm pretty sure it'd redecorate my nano tanks.

Those are so cool! Nice critter! How long have you had it?

I dont want to be a downer though, but I hope people dont go out buying tons of these. I hear they dont usually do very well, and I know a few people who have tried them to no avail.

Good Luck Diana! Im sure yours will do well

Cheers,

Chris
