    [glow=Green, 3, 90%]I still haven't found that 'ONE' picture that is going to convince me that my little crab is Cancer antennarius. I'm going to spend a few cycles today looking and see what I can find. I hope it is a definitive picture of Mr.IttyBittyCrab.[/glow]

    [glow=Green, 3, 90%]This is still an adult, and doesn't show me the transitional crab, from mine (the size of an eraser on a pencil) to this adult. Maybe is is as good as I could hope for.[/glow]

    I've looked every where Wrass and I can't find anything but what I've thought above. I think your plan is good. Keep it around for a while and watch him grow. Have you named him yet?
