Default I've Got Crabs!

I have an large Quarter sized body Emerald Crab, 5 Blue Legged Hermits and a beautiful Pom Pom Crab in my Reef. What's in yours?

lol, what's with the crabs posts lately?

well it's not a crab, but i have a coral banded shrimp in my reef tank. Downstairs in my fish only salt tank (all wild caught fish....i mean fish that i caught) i think i have a tiny rock crab hiding away in there....although the puffers may have gotten him.

this is actually an unknown species, probably a common hermit crab, that I picked up somewhere. Probably will get to be a fish eater when its older, but for now, its an awesome inhabitant.

How did you catch your fish and transport them back to your aquarium at home? Is it hard to do, and do you need a license or something to do that?
