Wow, what a brilliant blue. Congrats. Is there no concern that he may take out your crabs? I don't know anything about them so I was just curious.

 

[rob28]

yes, it is possible due to their being territorial. i am monitoring them, so if it gets hairy for the mini's, ill jus drop them back into the 55 gal for the time being.

oh yeah....thanx 4 the congrats!!! i just couldnt pass him by, everything i looked at just paled in comparison to him.

Cool. Hopefully it won't be an issue but at least your prepared if it does. Good luck.

Sad news

well, this is a prime example of get good advice but not taking it. All day the lobster seemed to be keeping to himself and tolerating the crabs crawling all over him, so I assumed they were good. I woke up this morning to my runt mini crab on his back....dead
The poor lil guy looked like he didnt even hve a chance. 4 of his arms were completley removed

I guess this is what happens when irrisponsibility meets a newb.

That is an outstanding looking fellow you have there.
