Oh, I see what your saying now. I didn't put any type of sealant on it, but that would have been a good idea. My crabs haven't really picked at it besides the one time I found my crab stuck in the corner, trying to pick its way to freedom. But I did pull the mountain thing I made out of the tank yesterday and found in the cave part, shells and rocks. The shells were no surprise, my crabs rearrange the shells all over the tank, instead of leaving them in the shell shop. But the rocks were a surprise. I noticed a few rocks missing from the mountain, and I guess they pulled them off and hid them in the cave, which is humorous to me. I just imagine them thinking, "Haha, Parker won't see anything. We will show him not to put our shells back into the shell shop, and to leave us alone!

But I think if it was sealed and allowed to ventilate for quite a while, It would be awesome. VERY creative!
But anyway, back to the point, haha, sorry I get carried away sometimes. Even though they climb on it, it hasn't become torn apart, as far as I can tell, besides the missing rocks.
