if you ever make it north to ogden i could help replenish your supply of xenia with a couple of stocks.   Seems like a long drive for xenia though!]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:57:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33519&PID=303829&title=catching-crabs#303829 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33519&PID=303825&title=catching-crabs#303825 Author: jwoo

Causality of war.

When I stuck the rock in the tub to run water over it I was holding it above the drain. He jumped off the rock and well went down the drain. Which is too bad because I was going to stick the little bugger in my refuge.

After much mourning and weeping after the crab in this post had finished off my Xenia I had written it off.

BUT

Sat. morning I woke up and looked into my tank - and lo' I did spy some tiny stalks where the crab had feasted. As of today they are now a quarter inch high! SO TAKE THAT CRAB I WIN!

Probably not exciting to anyone else  - but this was an epic two week battle with heavy casualties and my men have risen from the grave!  Zombie Xenia!

This worked. I had the rock out most of yesterday but didn't get the chance to try this till this morning. The moment the hot water hit the rock he was out of it. Thanks!

Well I got the rock out of there but can't get him out of the rock! It's in my sump right now and the bastard won't come out for nothing. Traps don't work - nothing works! So I fear that he will meet his demise. Originally I was going to save him and put him in my fuge but alas I fear that his time has come.

With that said - should I just leave the rock out of water for a few hours? Will that eventually kill him? How long can crabs live out of the water?
