I am just shocked....

About a week and a half ago, my favorite crab decided to pack up and leave. I've never seen him even climb near the top, so I looked everywhere in the tank for him. After I couldn't find him, figured he was hiding up in the deco and I didn't see him, until yesterday....

I was doing some heavy cleaning, and I found him sitting clear across my living room sitting by the window.....

of course he was kinda crusty...and I felt bad, but I couldn't help but laugh that he was clear across on the other side of the room.

Crazy Crazy Crazy......

This is why it's important to provide these guys with a safe way to get out of the water. Many people just add them to a regular aquarium setup, and then lose them when they make thier getaway.

Sorry for your loss. If you replace it, make sure to provide a easily accessible float in addition to covering the tank completely.
