#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#any info on this little guy....other than he carries a sponge on his back#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Does he gather polyps and stuff to stick to his back? If so likely it's a decorator crab, pretty cool other than the fact he snatches a few polyps for decorate his shell...but then again he's just helping populate new areas of your reef with new frags.

Most Extreme what though? We've contemplated getting one just for
fun, though the idea of him snipping off random polyps may not be
always be so cool, depends on how often they change their britches.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

But yeah between animal planet, The Science Channel, and Discovery
channels I can usually find something to cool to watch that somehow
relates directly or indirectly to our reefs.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
