Well its been a while since I post anything. Alot of unwelcome crap has happend to me, as well as some welcome crap. My interest in my marine tank took a major blow after last april, my fishing buddy introduced me to Steelhead fishing in Erie. So from then until bout 2 weeks ago fishing was my life. especially being laid off. Now Im back working steady income I was able to continue the up keep of my marine tank that my mother was taking care of for me while I was broke. Well when I left my tank I had bunches of different corals, a beautiful carpet anemone, unknown crabs, shrimp, different fishes. Well I wasnt really surprised when I came home to see my tank 38 gallon tank half filled with water, 1 rock barely exposed to air, 1 filter of 3 pumping water.... no corals no shrimp or crabs , and 1 fish a striped dotty back whose a hell of a fighter. I wasnt angry with her, but myself. I let something so beautiful go ...for what reason? another hobby that I cant live without. I was tempted to just tear the tank down and sale everything but that Dottyback who was such a fighter actually made me change my mind and start back the upkeep. Today we added a domino damsel just to see if the new fish will be able to survive a basically new tank. Then I felt it was time to rearrange my room. Under a bed that was needed to be tossed out. I found, something very upsetting but interesting.... before I posted about an unknown crab. Well it was dead, but perfectly normal looking so I took a pic and hope someone can let me know what it is. I should of put a nickel in the pic so u know the size so Id say its bout a lil bigger then a nickel Thanks

Until 2 weeks ago??? Did you live in Erie that whole time?

Isn't it right now and for the next month or so the best Steelhead fishing up in Erie at the creeks?


Sally Lightfoot crab possibly?

Yes from about a month ago till late april is when steelhead run the rivers of erie. But Ive made a vowl not to get carried away and take a trip once a month at most 2 trips a month. As far as the crab. I dunno about a sallylight foot. I had 3 of them in the aquarium before 2 bigger ones and one real small one and they were all flatter where the head and eyes were. but it could be a different type of sally light foot tho.
