I was just wondering if anyone has experience with these as how long they would live and how big do they get? Mine has been in my tank for about a year now and he is larger than a quarter.

I have one that is the size of a silver dollar, and that is big (carapace size). I somewhat wish he would die. I may grab him and pull him out next time my arm is in the tank. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

I've got one that size too. His span from claw to claw is easily 4 inches. I've never noticed him doing anything really destructive although he's not much of a valonia eater. ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |

If he'll eradicate bubble algae I'm sure you could auction him off for a decent amount at the next meeting. ------------- Jared Neilsen Lehi, Utah |

Can I start the bidding with $10 bucks?
Maybe, you could just rent him out! |

Fifteen! I have a wide area for him to roam, and a new kind of bubble algae! He might get the munchies late in the evening! I could throw in some green star polyps! Got a couple of kinds of them, too. ------------- Renee and Damon Weimer Tankless in Hawaii |

| Adam - if you figure out how to consistently get $15 for emeralds, let me know. I think we should become partners! |
