    At least it was cool to me. Being a noobie, first sightings like this I guess would make it more exciting. Since my tank is finaly clearing I can see things like this now. Anyhow, I saw one of my small blue legged hermits crabs was parked next to a nice shiney, bright white, slighly larger shell and was in it cleaning house. He would crawl back inside of it and come out to toss sand out into the water. I guess it would be like a teenager moving to a bigger appartment that the last tennant left a bunch of boxes behind and they had to clean it out before they could oficially move in.:mrgreen:

    Anyhow, my point being, I look forward to seeing things like this that happen and watching the tank "grow" with time. I thought I'd share my little experience with you all.

    If you think that was cool.Try looking your rock over with a small flash light after the lights have been out an hour or so.Just cover the lens with a piece of red plastic.

    Good thing it didn't turn out to be loaded. That would be one major mess.
