What to do?

Post by Arkos » Tue Apr 20, 2021 12:27 pm

So my new crab levianthan likes this little coconut hide he barely fits his shell into and has to dig to access. My problem is that cheech who has been down for a little over a month now, has his molting cave set up where I put several layers of painters tape to keep light out. The top of his molting cave starts about where the black line is on the tape. levianthan digs to access the coconut hide, and I wonder what I should do to prevent cheech being disturbed by accident. Any suggestions? Should I just relocate the hide? I'm so nervous about disturbing cheech. Image

I know I probably shouldn't have but I peeled the tape back to take a quick peek to make sure the cave wasn't collapsed and all looked good in his cozy cave.

I would say the easiest course of action would be to move the coco hut, as long as it isn't stuck down into the sub (just thinking if it is stuck down in too far, it could disturb the guy underground).

Okay thats what I was thinking, it's only burried maybe a half inch under the sub. Don't think it will bother the molter
