What kind of crab is she? I would be so surprised if one of mine came up so different looking. You must be a great crab mom....

How in the world do you keep track of all of your quick-change artists? I only have 6 and there are 3 that I get mixed up all of the time :roll: !

HOLY POOP!! Is that EVER a change! Very interesting colour for a PP, too. Incredibly gorgeous and very unusual. Congrats on such a drastic and beautiful molt.

Ok, gotta say it again... DANG!!

Are you sure that's the same crab?? YIKES! I can't believe the color! Is she eating blueberries or something? Why do I have that scene from CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (the original) in my head??
I think you need to change her name to VIOLET!

She posted a menu somewhere on here! (food and water section, I think)
Wow! That is awesome, Kathy. So blue and mysterious. Great transformation!

Wowee!
Doesn't even resemble the first crab! What a beautiful and amazing transformation.

Actually, I'm not sure I like the color change.
She looks kinda alien-like now. Her eyes are freaky, too.

You'll get used to it. It's probably just shock at this point. Like the initial hate you have for a haircut that's a drastic change. lol

Raen, that was a good way of putting it. I hate getting haircuts like that!

lol I got one about a month ago. lol
Stylist: So how short do you want it?
Me: Well, I'm not overly attached to length. I did the hair down to my bottom thing for a few years, so I'm pretty well past that attachment. So two, MAYBE 3 inches would be fine.
... 5 inches later... I kid you not... FIVE INCHES!
