Default Crazy Hermit Crab!

Last night around midnight my mom saw a small what she thought was a bead of somesort picked it up and put it in a little dish on the coffee table... only to find out today around 4pm it was actually a hermit crab that escaped from the tank and managed to jump out of the tank onto the ground and go through the entire hall way! unbalievably i picked him up and he was still alive... put him back in the tank and he is now walking around... truely and unbalieveable little hermit!

my LFS just got this hermit crab with anemone....thing is huge, like 2/3 the size of a baseball with anemones on its shell. guy there put it into a tank and it immediately went over and started attacking a starfish so they have it in a lil plastic case by itself....cool looking but way way too big. i am waiting for someone to come up with hermit crab fights..pit 2 hermits against each other, wind up in prison like michael vick!!!
