Anyone interested in a free hitchhilker crab for their sump?
 
I've got a "teddy bear" type crab in my tank that came along with some live rock I got almost 3 years ago. He looks to be a pretty decent size, but I'll know more once I finally catch him.

I was keeping him around because my daughter thinks he's cute, but he's finally killed too much stuff for me to let him stay any longer.

I promised my daughter that I wouldn't kill him. So.... anyone want him? Please?

Got him. Picture to follow.

He's about 1.5 to 2 inches across his body, maybe 3 inches including legs.

Not particularly cute but... Tell your daughter hes going back to nature... If hes going to tim, he sorta is.

You have to think he has a better chance against Tim than the garbage disposal, so he's got that going for him, at least.

Judging by what tim did to the 3 stooges, im not so sure...

Tim gave me puppy-dog-eyes when I read him of this crabs plight...

You've got PM heading your way. ;)

Sadly the crab died while awaiting acceptance into Timland.

Suicide has not been ruled out.

DivaMan 10/24/2006 08:23 PM

Me thinks suicide, but it amazes me what can kill a menace, which we all struggle to kill, or trap, and then when you finally catch it it dies. Hmmmm Maybe he just molted as a getaway, and has teamed up with kryptonite!!!!
