Auctioning off my livestock

[seth16]

Since i have been unable to sell my livestock in my 29, i think i am going to auction it off at this meetings frag auction. There will be

15" Green Wolf Eel
Big Jeweled Crab
Gorilla Crab


i want to try to at least get a couple bucks for them, as i did pay good money for the stuff, If i cannot sell them at the auction, Maryce has offered to take care of them until a home is found.

The Green wolf is reef safe as long as ther are only larger fish, like tangs and well...not damsels...lol.....he doesnt eat or even bother inverts and is a great eater.

Not to be negative. But i would like to give fair warning, a gorilla crab is not a good choice for any tank really. The only type of tank you could possibly put this in would be a eel tank with no other inverts, even then I would not suggest it. Gorilla crabs are very bold carnivores and need meat to survive. When things such as small snails and hermits are not available, they will become scavengers and attack anything they can get close to. If there is a lack of anything for them to eat, they will simply die. I would pay 100$ to never have a gorilla crab in any of my tanks ever again.

Just wanting to give fair warning to anyone who might be considering buying him and doesn't know anything about them.

I think the jeweled crab is awesome, my tank bottom just isn't open enough for him.

actually, he stays in the sand, IDK why, he would rather be buried in sand thanunder rock....lol ....if you have big rocks that dont have big homes for him to go into, he will leave them aloe and stay int he sand, or in my tanks case, he stays in the sand anyways...hahaha

I like that jeweled crab, how big is he?

You can donate the gorilla to our mantis. He might enjoy him for dinner. There is yet another gorilla in Brannon's tank that we have to get out because he is picking holes in his anemone. They are in no way safe in a reef tank. If you dont spot feed him, he will go after something in the tank, whether its a fish, an anemone, or inverts. Those little buggers are better off in the ocean where they dont kill people's stuff. Hence the reason why we have removed like 15 of them from his tank.

the jewled is about 4" across....lol

I just caught another gorilla in brannon's tank. I busted him eating his zoos, so he had death by fork. I effin hate those crabs.
