Roommate Application:
Dear Mr. Tim,
I have recently been evicted from my comfortable home in my 75 gallon tank and banished to rather undesirable conditions in my new sump home. I am looking for new accomodations and saw your ad in the newspaper asking for small but crunchy roommates. As you can see I have small claws and a crunchy outer shell. Not sure why you need me to be crunchy, but I'm desperate for new accomodations,
Please contact me about your opening at your earliest convenience,
Mr. Crabby

Dearest Mr. Crunchieeer... uh... Crabby,
The room has indeed opened up once more. Just last week a trio of small but tasty... er... friendly snails disappeared after coming over for dinner. Regrettable really, they were quite tidy. *burp*
It would be my pleasure to have you for dinner... uh... over for dinner to discuss rent, space and any other considerations rentors and renters should be discussing before dining... signing contracts and such.
Looking forward to eating... meeting you soon,
Tim

He is small now and would make a great roommate, but another reefer has had one of these for 6 months and it is now the size of his fist and recently destroyed a large gorilla crab. It would be interesting to see if Tim could handle him in 6 months.

DM, you can charge advertising space as well.... i though i doubt you could get the $$$ the superbowl gets, but you could televise it as the Fishbowl.

This whole train of threads has made Tim nostalgic. Hence the retelling of his dinner with the snail trio below...
Snails at the door, so of course, I knock. It seems backwards to you?... that is because you do not have the enbiggened brain like I are having.
Their spokessnail enters while the other two seem a bit nervous and hide out under a rock. This behaviour is rude to me. I make note of where they hide with my superior vision and do not let them know I sees them move under my favorite sopt for short-time roommates...
Nostalgia makes me hungry. Hungry makes me condense story time for non-enbiggened-brained meatbags. I call this move "the handshake."
After I close the 'door' by moving the weightstone out of the clear-annoying-shield-box I 'meet' the rest of the trio...
The end...
*BURP*
Have to go ready the "guestroom" again now...

Just remember Tim, your next roomie could always be an octopus...
I was just in my LFS and they've got a red hermit crab in. It must be 10+" across and currently using a piece of plastic piping as a "shell". THe first thing I thought was TIM!!!!! If you were on this side of the pond it would almost have been worth the Ã"šÃ‚£20 to see what would have happened!
Love the thread by the way!

If we could find a tiny (same mass as Tim) octopus I might (might) try that out; he's gotten much more adept at capturing prey. Otherwise I defer to the octopus as having the advantage by size alone (and hunting specialization).
The 10" hermit crab I'll pass on trying though. I still suspect a hermit-meal of taking his redundant sensory receptor (that's an eye to you and me, Russ). /shiver
Tim's even been psyching himself up to bigger prey items though. Just this week he has repeatedly attacked the filter intake and the cleaning magnet.
My boy...

Bigger you said? Here's the guy that is currently sharing space with 2 of my N. Wennerae's in the refugium.

Florida stone crab, about 3 inches across now after molting Saturday night. Came in on my first shipment of TBS rock and was only 1/2 diameter in April.
He's a mean sucker too.
