Ok the movies are uploading to a website right now, ill post the link when its done. But for now ill entertain you with this picture of my new baby bimac eating a blue leg hermit crab. You can see a little green thing in his arms, thats part of the hermit crab's shell. I wish i had a really good camera so I could get non-blury shots, but its alright.

Both movies are about 2.5 megs each

This is a short movie of him hunting amphipods. When he reaches his arms in the live rock you can see two amphipods come shooting out, one swims up and one swims to the right. They move very quickly, I wonder if the bimac can actually catch them?

This is a quick movie of him jumping from one rock to another. Enjoy

noo! Well it appears that angelfire does not allow remote linking to files hosted on their server. And since I did that they removed my account. Now I have to make a new account and reupload the movies. Ill do that, one second...

Since they won't allow a direct link, what I did was enter the URL manually into the URL line and it let me go there. I'm guessing that if people click that link they'll probably kick you off of there again?

Now I only get the QuickTime "Q" though...is it taking time to load and just not saying "loading" anywhere?

Ok the movies are all at http://www.angelfire.com/space/octopus0 I added a new one and it is much longer and pretty good quality too. It is of the octopus grabbing a hermit crab from behind a rock. Very cool to watch, he just glides on the surface of the sand.

I can't get them to play, and I just downloaded the newest version of QuickTime. What should I play them with?

Instead of trying to play the movies in your web browser try downloading the movies to your desktop and then try opening them. They are in .mov format so quicktime should work. Are you using a PC or a mac? If you are on a mac try renaming the movie from something to something.mov
