Crab owners are a little taken aback by the fact that their chosen pet is also food. They spend hours watching the little critters play in the reef tank. There is just so much you can do with a crab. They don’t fetch and cuddling is out of the question. The stupid crab wont even come when you call its name. Here crabby…crabby. No…nothing. If I wanted a crab for a pet I would go with a stuffed one. Kim Bettasso is a proud crab owner and would never eat a crab. If only crab would not be so yummy.

Lost Crab
OK, I haven’t told the wife but the crab is missing. Will it show up in her bed? Will it get crunched under her shoe. I know that the reef tank was all my idea but the escaped crab is a problem. 
If the little bugger does not show up soon he will die and stat smelling. If he stinks up the house I will be in trouble. The tank stunk enough but escaping crabs will not be acceptable to the wife. I don’t have a clue where that crab has gone. Home For Life Animal Sanctuary has told me their ideas on where crabs hide and I will be looking there as soon as I can without the wife noticing.
Crabby Pants
When my reef tank needs cleaning I get the crabby pants. It is not my favorite thing to do. In fact it is one of my chores that I avoid like the plague. If you have a nasty reef tank you know what I mean. 
Those crabs can poop a lot and don’t care to clean themselves. Crab poop is not pleasant. As poop goes crab poop really stinks and is sticky. 
Normally you could wait for the poop to dry out thus making it easier to pick up. In a reef tank everything stays wet. The news story is here if you care to see it. 
Crabs Gone Wild
My crab escaped. That simple statement is maybe a misspeak on my part. The fact is that the crabs took a long ride down the toilet. The crabs were a gift to a child that lost interest in them long ago. The general neglect led to stink and dead crabs. The spare the brats feelings about the demise od the little crabs I told him they escaped. The doomed search that followed was the most fun had with the crabs ever. The room was the first place examined for crabs and soon was eliminated from the possible hiding places. https://www.linkedin.com/company/fisher-investments is a good place to find crab funds.
Building a Reef Tank Can Be a Simple Task
While a saltwater reef tank may seem like a daunting task to even the most experienced of fish-tank enthusiasts, building a reef tank from scratch does not have to be a complicated endeavor. In fact, a reef tank can be a project that is quite simple under the right circumstances.
The whole process requires a bit of patience, but the reward is well worth the wait. A reef tank is teeming with life in every corner, with corals and crabs working in conjunction with the fish and other marine life to form an incredibly entertaining aquarium.
While not everyone has the means to personally finance an $8-million reef aquarium project, it is possible to create a beautiful reef tank in any home and on any budget according to Adam Kutner. Again, a saltwater reef tank requires some initial patience, but the time spent in the early stages is quickly rewarded once the tank begins to take on a life of its own.
