Hey Richard, I Just Found This Guy Again

[HowardW]

I haven't seen this guy in over 2 yrs. and then this morning he just shows up again. I had long since forgot about him, and thought it was kinda cool he just reappeared!

That is weird as he is a big time snail predator.....will stalk them and munch...have any snails left?

His momma doesn't think he is bad.....remember, this is the ocean, everything eats everything else, so 'bad" is relative!

[divemonster]

you're right!

you're right!

Good point, Richard. "Bad" is a relative term, and not part of my vocabulary when I am diving in the ocean.

HowardW's pic "wow'd" me though. Beautiful critter, that one

Well 'bad' may be a relative term, but I can tell you that stone crabs are 'B A D' and I don't care what his momma thinks :lol:
