Okay, since you asked......

I've only been crabbing about one year. My second favorite story is when I had switched to an all-sand substrate, and one of my medium crabs came up from a molt. Maybe this happens all the time, but when he came up all I could see was this huge "sand ball with legs", walking around the tank! It was SO funny to me! All this sand had clung to his shell like concrete. I've never seen a SAND BALL walk, so I had to laugh at that one!

Sometimes it's fun being a newbie, because everything is a new discovery!

Thanks,

Donna M.
