|  sally takes another victim!
My sally light foot killed my foxface! My foxface was healthy and well when I went to bed last night, woke up this morning and sally had taken him under. My sally is pretty big- and my foxface liked to rest on the rockwork. I am almost positive he is the killer. I am so upset! I am going to have to get rid of him- stupid thing. Plus when I took my foxface out he was still struggling for his life- so I know he wasn't dead when the sally got a hold of him.
RIP- My foxface!!
Soon to RIP- my Sally!!!

Good luck getting it out. Quoted from one of my books "These crabs are very fast and nearly impossible to catch, except in baited traps".
Sorry for your loss. How big was the foxface in retrospect to the crab? |

Soon to RIP- my Sally!!! | I watched a Sally lightfoot to take a small hippo out one night I had ordered 100 of them all small like 1inch or so and I was missing some and I set a infra red Sewer Camera up and a VCR ! Busted and I also had a Serpent star to eat clams and a Purple tang that was caught eating a clam.. All where sent to eat Davy Jones at his Locker (: _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I had no problem catching a Sally...How I did it was at night, when I was feeding our Orange Sunshine coral using a long feeder the crab came right out to eat, I was able to take the feeder and hold him down and then net him out... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS
