Decorator crab?

[xp964]

Does anyone know if emerald crabs ever decorate themselves? I have two emeralds in my tank, one of which I've seen (they're different colors, so I know I've only seen one and not the other) I've not added anything to the tank for a year, but I definitely have a decorator crab! It's currently roaming the tank with an entire patch of dragon-eye zoas on it's back.

Sounds like you got a hitch hiker from somewhere.

wow, that's quite a hitchkhiker.

I've never heard of Emerald decorating themselves.

But I have heard of hermits using weird things as shells, coul this be a possibility?

could you snap a pict?

I got a decorator crab as a hitchhiker on my TBS rock back in the day. He was funny. Sad when he died.

I got a pic, but it's not a good one. I'll see if I can post if tonight...If my tank was in the shape in should be, I would just enjoy him, because usually my zoos are rampant. But, shamefully, I've severly neglected my tank the last couple of months, and they're not doing so hot. Coming back now, but the damage is done.
By the way, Biting, what the heck is your avatar??? I've always wondered that and never been able to figure it out!
thanks
