He's been in it all evening. I have 2 Es that will try on turbos. He is so cute in it, I wouldn't mind if he stayed put!

He looks amazing! My E's make me wait forever to see them in something new, and usually it's the same old, same old, those darn wales-eye, sharks eye, kind of shells.

I saw one of my E's in one ONCE during the year and a half I had mine. He had switched back to his original by time I saw him the next morning. Now I get jealous when I see others' Es in turbos :lol:

I get very excited when my Es switch to these green turbos-and get this- they both like the Dollar General turbo!

All of my Es are in Turbos. I have sooo many D shaped shells of all sizes and types and they still all wear turbos. It is so weird.

They really are unpredictable! I understand the generalization of species-but as far as shell favorites go, my Es are very open minded!

Mine are stubborn . Lol I want to see them in something different from all the PPS but nope, they gotta be stubborn and boring. I have 4 Es and the only crabs that ever wear anything but a turbo is the occasional tiny PP will try on a murex or something else for like a night.

As I was typing a response Fridau switched back into a babylonia, a different from what he changed from. They are so interesting!

They are. My biggest E has been in the same shell for quite awhile now. Visually I don't see any modifications but I am sure he has been at work inside.

I just ran downstairs and flipped the tank light on for some pics. This earned me a lot of angry feeler movements. This is Jockey. M biggest E climbing through the shell shop to get to me. He always comes to the glass. Image There is foggy glass right there. Sorry for the blur. Some of my others that are running around right now. My other Es are hiding/digging/molting so just PPS and jockey trashing the tank. ImageImageImage
