| Sunshine Reefer   | Re: my crabs are dead..lol It is likely they are just the molts and the crabs have moved on to larger shells.

| Hey!Its not my fault  | Re: my crabs are dead..lol If the crabs arent molting than you might want to do some tank readings. Crabs cant handle much ammonia or nitrate readings. Any big changes in swing in temp or any other readings need to be fixed if so.. Or possible predators in liverock?

I just pulled one that I thought was dead out of the tank. Not so funny, I can't find my Lawnmower blenny anywhere.. I think he might have took an escape route up the return pipe.
