Chunk!

Post by CallaLily » Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:53 pm

Chunk came up from his molt today. Like so many of my crabs in that tank, he went down sometime in November. Nice thing about mass molts, they all start to surface one after the other. :D
His color has changed a lot and I think he's gorgeous. :love5:

He's a PP. Thank you. Here's a thread from after his last molt for comparison. viewtopic.php?p=921279#p921279

He's grown a little too. :D

He is gorgeous, and I love his coloring and how defined he is! :D I'm glad that they are all slowly returning to the surface! :)

Beautiful Crabbie. Loving all those deep blue hues. Makes me want to steal him off you - if you don't mind. ;)

Amazing coloring! With the exception of shy Harry who is purple and red, all of my guys are solid color so I'm just drooling over Chunk :hearts: .
