This guy either has a death wish or he's just a clutz or he's really dumb. He's constantly setting off in the water column, "wings" aloft and drifting about in the current. I've had to rescue him from a powerhead twice and once from the flower anemone. He lost 2 legs to the anemone and now he's lost a claw, but I don't know how. He's still got attitude though!

I had been thinking he was a spider decorator, but after looking at liveaquaria, it looks like he's probably a decorator arrow crab. I've been told he can get quite large. Right now he's cute. At 6", I may have to have someone come take him away. :eek3:

And if you asked him, he'd probably say "You think I look bad? You should see the other guy!"

:headbang2:
 
Maybe he wants to live up to his name and be an eccentric, colourful little guy... He sure looks nice with all that green :)
 
I always have to laugh and smile when I see your avatar.
