In a shell about the size of a grain of rice. |
And smaller than the food pellet he's running to capture. Ambitious little critter!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
Do they breed in your tank or do the babies come in on things you bring back from the ocean? - Margy
ReplyDeleteThey try to breed in my tank, but I'm not sure the babies can make it with the filter going; they're small enough to be caught before they settle and look for a shell. I try to make sure there are always mini shells around, just in case.
DeleteI think some show up among the barnacles I bring in for the snails.
