"If he has stripes, claws that are equal sized, is hairy like a wookie, or legs that look so thin that they seem like they can't support his weight, he's marine." Yep that him.
I'll try to take some pics and post. To the person in Dallas... we live in Grapevine. If you have a home for our little guy that would be awesome! Otherwise I'll try to adopt him elsewhere. In the meantime I'll take the advice I find here and try to give him the best habitat I can while we search for a new home for him.
If someone wants to contact me directly I can be found online by googling my company Good Automation. My name is Albert. You can email me from my website. (Not sure I want to post a phone number and email here...)
I live in grapevine, and my girlfriend and I had the same mishap. Brought home a shell, disnt know it had a creature. Ive done research and found its a thin stripe. Hes the cutest and we love him. Kraba DeVille is his name and we have had him a week. We were lucky enough to have purchased a tank months before so when we found him on the kitchen floor (from a fall), we went into parental mode to keep him alive. We have had him for a little over two weeks. And we have two large live rocks, an emerald crab named Oz, and five blue legged hermits. He eats krill and I have been handfeeding him its so fun. He crawls around all day and sleeps here and there. I th I k he is happy.
My only concern and what led me to this forum is, does he need to be able to climb to the surface? Does he need air at all? Cause he was found above water. It just seems he tries to climb the glass and I introduced him to the live rock he climbed down. He literally sticks to the edge of the tank. Plenty of sand and place to roam. He even leveled out the sand I had made a pit, and he filled it.
I want to get shelf rock or maybe a crochet ladder? and maybe allow him to surface every now and then, though I'm sure if he can crawl up he will crawl out. My girlfriend has done reseach as well and says an airstone would help him breath if he needed any air. The only downside ive read about that is the salt build up from bubbles pooping on the water surface .
I probably shoukd have started a new thread. But I wanted to letnyou know you arent alone.
it's u the best moderator and or administration on here
