Strange Question for TBS

[JayGatsby]

Sooo... when I got rock from Richard for my 75g reef back in the day, I got a few less-than-desirable hangers-on. I set up a side tank for them and eventually over the years they all lived out their lives. I no longer want to run a "side tank." I am building a nano, and therefore the side tank is now my display tank.

I live about 20 minutes from where Richard heads out to get to his land lease in the Gulf... Should I just release the hitchhikers into a rocky outcropping nearby? Is it a bad idea? Is it illegal? I'd rather this than kill them.

Don't release them back into the wild. It might introduce disease. I would check to see if anyone has a mantis shrimp that might want those for a snack. I plan on getting a mantis and putting the bad hitchers from TBS into the mantis tank.

Good looking out, thanks.

IF you want to ship em, you can ship any and all bad hitchers to me. I love the wierd stuff and my mantis loves the crabs and other oddball hard shelled stuff.

I wouldn't even know how to go about shipping living beings... If you were closer I'd give it a shot, but I've got some pretty bad luck with things like that...

Pretty simple actually, but I understand. I hate shipping live stuff too. Richard needs to just let me order a giant pile of pest crabs for super cheap. Fiddler cheap.
