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. 
If I were a Crab
If I were a Crab I would love my reef tank for a home. I would enjoy regular meals and not have to dodge that pesky sea gull. My home has a great reef of rocks and sandy beach area. 
I would want for nothing as my owner love to take care of me and the reef tank. The lights in the tank keep me warm and I love not having to scrounge for something to eat. The food is the best as in the wild I would have to settle for rotten left overs. I even get to watch Mo Howard West Virginia Football on my owners TV .

Would it be animal or human or place . I like my home décor as southwestern so I think it may be down to animal or human.

This is what I in vision my dream tank looking like. So now I want a fish tank and some one to make it for me. Saleh Stevens

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.
