Kimberlee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So my kid saw this thing today in her tank. No clue what it is, looks kind of like a crab, but it seems to have a tail going into the rock work. I know I didn't put it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like a Hawaiian Cone Shell crab without its shell lol. An empty conch shel would be a good home for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it a cone snail shell and it should be ok Cool, he's a hardy little thing. Had to have come out of the rock, but the rock was in a tote no heater or light for like three weeks. Also it was out of water for 24hr or so, before getting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
