Check out This Cool Hitch Hiker . . .


9 months after setting up my 125, I finally saw this blue porcelain crab for the first time. In the 55, I see him all the time. I enjoy watching him fan for food.

Cesar - looks like you're getting him in the 55 package. Enjoy.

Awesome crab! I love those guys, although they are quite reclusive. But whenever I think one's gone for good, I will see it scurry from one rock cave to another.

Awesome pic! I see my porcelin occasionally, but it's just white. It's almost mesmerizing to watch them...
