    An uninvited guest!

    can you post pics of just claws. they seem to have a gap designed for picking things off rocks. if there isnt a gap between the claws then its designed for catching, crushing and cutting prey items.

    Tank setup up in front of window

    hmm just thought of another idea you always just get a background for the tank. maybe cover the sides and just leave the front visible if your that worried.
