Crazy story time. Had a pet fiddler crab when I was 9-10. The tank was pretty big, probably 10 gallons. It was him, some goldfish to keep him company. Not kidding, this crab was an escape artist. At first he was cool, after a few months, he was like "I'm out" and started trying to get out of the tank. He probably got out 2-3 times and we caught him the first few times. Last time he managed to escape down TWO FLIGHTS of stairs in a 2 story house and reached the door before we found him in the morning. He was missing a couple legs. He died shortly after. Smart little guy. He had my respect. :salute:

Had a hermit crab as a kid. Kind of boring but also cool.
This. I think we had two of them at the start of Summer.... by the end of Summer they were dead

I kept my dead one and put it in a glass bottle in some liquid to memorialize it like you see in a college biology class. I'll see if I still have it and post lmao
