HCA: Hermit Crab Association

The lady was wanting to rehome the little guy and was only charging $2. I drove an hour to her place and they ended up giving me the shell baby free of charge! Just got home and put the newbie in my tank. He instantly took a liking. Here's a picture of him.

Yay! Rehoming is the best way to go. Congrats on the new fella/gal.

I'm taking a vote on a name. Here are the options:
-Vulcan: Roman god equivalent to Hephaestus, the one who built armor and weapons for the gods
-Dionysus: The Greek party god of wine and indulgence, often seen with Pan.
-Vishnu: The second god in the Hindu triumvirate; known as the preserver and protector of the universe.
-Brahma: The first god in the Hindu triumvirate; known as the creator of the universe.

Which do you think is the best?

Here's the vote score right now:
3 Vishnu, 2 Vulcan, 1 Brahma, and 2 Dionysus.

I'd opt for Vulcan -- after all, crabs are "armored" in their protective shells and anyone who's been on the receiving end of a pinch can attest to BPs as weapons!

Vishnu and Vulcan are now tied for three. The other two names are no longer options. Whichever name gets to 5 first wins.

Oh, now Vulcan has 4 votes.
