Funny thing happened this morning...last night I had pulled a couple rocks out to rearrange the aquascaping before taking those last pictures. Anyway, this morning I stepped on something hard laying in the middle of the floor (didn't feel too good in the middle of my bare foot). It was a snail shell...I realized pretty quickly it was probably a hermit crab. I looked inside the shell and thought I saw a little something in there. Plopped it back in the tank and the crab came out and started doing it's thing like nothing ever happened.

Funny how tough those buggers can be some times....think it goes to show the reason for me they never last to long is they need a lot of empty shells to move into as they grow, especially small ones. With my barebottom tank, I never had too many in available.
