Emerald Crab Exoskeleton

[merickson45]

My emerald crab molted today, and by chance I checked the tank just after it happened. Now I've got a pristine emerald crab exoskeleton. Thought you all would get a kick out of it, enjoy!

Cool. Now put a sign in it that says,”Crab, DO NOT TRUST!”

Haha will do. In fact, I do not trust. It is a denizen of the fuge.

Build a little box for it and pour clear epoxy in. Remove box for your new emerald crab paper weight

Best idea I've heard all day

I have one I'm saving to one day turn it into solid silver via lost wax casting. I've done it to a couple spiders before.

That's awesome! I saved a ton of aluminum chips from a shop I used to work at for doing just that.

I've got a ton of aluminum chips also. I want to cast an ant colony with it.

That was one of the things I wanted to do. I can still get endless quantities of it, many shops don't bother recycling it as you have to wash the coolant off.
