    I've watched one of my crabs do that. Except the shell he set his eyes on was occupied by a snail. SAW movies pale in comparison to the carnage I've witnessed that day.

    Thats was cool to watch. I've never seen it in my tank. I've found the dead little bodies of crabs that left their shell and didn't make it into a new one though.
