We have some cool new additions to the saltwater tank...a calico crab and two banded tulip snails. While combing the beach in front of the hotel, Preston Woolf (shown here) and his brother Colden, from Peachtree City, Georgia, found these live treasures yesterday and today and brought them to us. As we don't have these critters, they are a welcome addition and should do well in our tank. Low tide is the best time to find interesting things at the beach...they also found a couple of starfish!
One of the tulips refused to come out of the cup it was brought it! I didn't want to pull on it too hard, although I'm sure it woulda been ok, I felt bad stretching it out while it held on for dear life. (Snails grow their shells and can't come out of them). So we just put the whole cup in the tank, and after awhile it loosened its grip.
