gotta love saltwater.....
i got a bunch of rock from a buddy of mine ,,this rock was set up in a tank for a few years , and for the last few months has been in a big rubber maid can , with light , power head , brewing in there. i went and picked it up got it home , set it in my sump ,,so sunday morning i went to put it in my tank , i got it all out of sump , decided to take the sump out and clean it , when i got all the rock,skimmer, pumps out ,,i looked down and there was a 1" round piece of live rock left in there, i reached down and picked it up ,, damn thing bit me ,,,it was a crab ,,not the good kind either, my buddy came over took it to salty ..they said dump it asap , some kind of rock crab.
not that my buddy knew,he didnt know he was in the rock at all. now i am really freaked out on putting this in my tank, all softies in my tank. what would be the best way to rid anymore crabs if there are anymore ?? fresh water soak ?? i have a hot iron with a 4 inch thin 1/4 inch neck for etching wood ,, i plan on sticking that in every hole in that rock, and it gets red hot . i dont care it it kills anything in the holes that might be in there good or bad ,
does anyone have any other idea to rid this rock of any more crabs if there are any left ? there are some nice chunks here too , i dont want to get rid of it,
