Amy,
Music is from, of all things, the movie Titanic
Am doing a 1 minute time lapse film of one of the clones today. Did a 2 hour time lapse movie last night, but it played in 3.5 sec, definitely too short for a real movie. Husband found some software to convert each movie frame into a .jpg file, so I can run the time lapse at any speed I want
Don't know how long my battery will run or if I have enough space on the disc for a full day, but am going for it anyway. Just hope I have the focus right so I don't waste a day doing this. Ah, but there will be other days :rollface:
Can you describe the crab? Does it eat mysis or food items? Is it a red eyed crab?
Here is a trap that I have used to catch red eyed crabs. Secure plastic wrap around the top of the glass with an elastic, keeping a small portion open for the crab to get into. Partially fill the glass with tankwater, add some frozen mysis (or whatever), then wait until the mysis thaw and drop to the bottom. Slowly submerge the glass in the water taking care not to let any food escape the glass, though untrap any air that gets stuck under the plastic wrap. Prop up the glass against rock where you've seen the crab. Make sure the glass does not roll around or move in any way. Otherwise the crab will probably skip trying to get the food.
The glass and plastic wrap...
Glass propped up and secured in place in the tank. Oh, yeah, if you have shrimp, they may clean out the mysis before your crab can :mad2: This trap definitely works when there are no shrimp and when the crabs eat meaty foods...
If all else fails, you can also stab it with some sort of long, sharp instrument. We use the stabber shown between the syringe and the tweezers. Gotta be quick with and forceful using the stabber. Not recommended for the kind at heart :eek2:
Good luck catching your little bad guy
