The Crabby Mystery

As mentioned before there has been some sketchy behavior in the tank. Someone has been stealing our Crab's legs!! Our first suspects were the hungry flounder but today we got photo evidence of a mummichog minnow with a hermit crabs leg in his mouth!! We have a rock crab with only two legs and our poor Europen Green Crab Petey is down to only a leg or two as well. Along with a couple hermit crabs there is a crab leg theif in the tank so we have to watch out for them. The Flounder and mummichogs are now under investifgation come by the tank to see our poor crabs and tell us who you think did it!

Also it is sea urchin week so our little urchin needs a name we are open Saturday and Sunday 10am-4pm. Hope to see you there!!
