Thanks Jeff. They came out of a buddys tank. He was in a situation where he needed a home for the things in his tank. I am working out of town so wasnt even sure what was going in there. The wife sent me the pics. I appreciate your input.

They are cool residents (other than hiding in the sand most of the time) and generally scavenge, but they are fully capable of catching other animals and killing them. I kept several different species, and got to watch them chase and catch their prey.
Cheers, Don |
