Jez,

All right, I love this crab!! I've had one in my tank for 3 years now and he is so cool. I got mine by accident in amongst an order of Turbo snails, hehe http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *He's been extremely well behaved whilst living in my tank but every book I've read states that they are not recommended for reef tanks. I assume that you have found them to be generally well behaved?

Not so long ago I added a smart new cone shell to the tank (without the snail inside obviously) just in case a new home was required. To my very great amazement and delight the crab immediately moved in right there and then. It was so neat to watch! And what do you know his bottom is striped orange and red too *http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Great picture BTW.

Regards

Lisa
