Criss Angel of crabs

[Crabnado]

I put some crab and masago in the food dish tonight. One of our biggest crabs was on the wheel at the time and ignored me, content to keep walking... till he saw the crab meat and fish eggs go in the dish. Practically before my hand was out of the tank he was already climbing down to come investigate. Never saw one do that before - come running to the food dish when fed.

An hour later I peeked back in and ALL of it was gone. There was still other food in the dish (seeds, pellets, carrots, peas) but there wasn't a scrap of seafood left. I'm thinking maybe he stowed it in his shell so the others couldn't get it because no one else made it to the dish before he cleared it out. He's big but I can't imagine he ate a whole tablespoon of food in an hour!

Something like this happened to me two days ago; I tried putting a meal worm in for the first time, and within the next day, it was gone!
