Image I snapped this picture of Deimos eating a piece of organic popcorn that he drug down into the water. Soggy popcorn anyone?

I might have to try that with my red clawed crabs. Did the leftovers pollute the water?

Adorable crab, btw.

They really like dead hardwood leaves so popcorn makes sense. Was it salted or buttered?

no butter, no salt, just plain organic popcorn.

I was curious because salt or butter might make it attractive even if they wouldn't normally eat it.
