i like that last one, very cool pic with the emerald. As far as the staghorn, that shell does not last long though. I hear there is no real way of knowing how to care for that shell in captivity. Some have had them for 2 months living (the shell i mean, not the crab), while others have had them almost for a year before that has died. Mine ended up ditching the shell and has gone into a bigger regular abandoned shell. At least the crab still looks real cool though, with his crazy red eyes and all

I've got one in my main system at home that ditched it's shell for a regular shell. But it comes back to the staghorn periodically and will wear it a day or so, then back to the snail shell, then back to the staghorn. It leaves them in the empty one in the same corner of the tank every time...Funny crab.

lol, mine used to do that, but now i notice at night, the staghorn shell is in a different place.....I wonder if he's messing around during night hours

I bought two of them. One went in the nano, one went in the home tank.

The one in the nano simply disappeared. I came in one morning and the staghorn coral was empty. I haven't seen it since. The one in the home tank wandered around for a few days then moved out of the staghorn coral into a snail shell. It then spent the better part of a month transferring back and forth, sometimes it would be in the staghorn, sometimes in the snail shell. Finally it stopped going back into the staghorn. As of last week it was still running around the tank. I haven't seen it this week, but I haven't looked for it either. They're cool little crabs, but I'm not sure I'd get anymore. They're just a tad on the expensive side for me to continue messing with them. :stonight

Thanks. Some of that is the autolevels I run in PS...But with an increasing number of shots, there's very little difference. I'm hoping that means that I'm getting better with the camera.
