sheesh these guys hit hard. that crab got knocked clear off the feeding stick. for the love of mike...
I do not think he hits as hard as The Juggernaut...
Speaking of whom, I happened to finally get to see some of his darker side this evening, I had noticed that he has finally started to use his hammers again, hearing much louder popping noises coming from the stand and seeing debris float up and out of his cavern.
So I decided to give him a test, the large hermit that I have been saving specifically for him, its a large hermit in a shell about 5inchs long and as big as my fist.
Needless to say everything happened faster then expected...I had a feeling things might take a while (something my camera isn't use to with filming, 30mins being tops before it cuts) so I did setup for the time frame that I had to work with, either way things happened fast and because he assaulted the hermit so viciously & accurately, I removed the hermit, so as it can live to fight another day. (Mostly wanting to perfect my camera skills before succumbing it, only get 1 chance at the video).
Here are a few pics of The Juggernaut prior to releasing the hermit, he senses a disturbance in the force and whats to come, getting all riled up before the hermit was in/near the tank (I think he is beginning to associate light with food/fun, since that is the only time light comes on).
Here is the short video of him and the hermit, the popping sound wasn't even that 'impressive' and that wasn't what caught my eye....it was the damage that I saw as the hermit limped away, such a lite sound for such a heavy fracture to a very solid part of the hermit (if not the most solid part of it (besides the shell which isn't actually a part of the hermit just something it hosts)).

Here is what I am talking about, the damage to the thick as my thumb claw on the hermit, all I see is that claw as my thumb...except my thumb has WAY less armor then that claw...
That is some serious hurting for what all in all happened in less then a second...with just a single 'assault' (not going to say hit because of the collapsing cavitation effect essentially 'doubling' the blow).
More to come =)
