Default I got CRABS....

Huge ones. The size of 2 loonies side by side.I took a flashlight to check up on my shark egg and I see these little red eyes peeking at me and the little bugger closed them in hopes to not being noticed.Well he aint looking that way now.I cought him and a few of his buddies that were toonie size he is the ring leader in my books.The buggers.I still cant post it but look in my gallery and see the bugger and help me ID him and whether they are safe or not.

Thanks

george

thanks for posting the pics Ryan.

The bad boys are gone to frosty heaven.They were the mean little suckers I have been trying to catch for months and months.I finally nailed them....Now I know where my catspaw went to.and some other corals..Just look at those eyes it is like something you see in a movie.... thanks again

Too bad they met such a nice end...

We have more than a few mantis owners on the board who'd probably love to get their hands on such delicacies
