I had a violet Goby (the fish that started my addiction into the monster fish realm) slither out of the tank the day after I bought it for him. He made it all the way across the room before he turned into fish jerky.

I've had 2 Red-claw crab crawl outs. I found one in the living room and the other is yet to be found. = (

One blue "lobster" crawl out - $10 lobster, about 5-6" long. In a 2.5 QT tank for less than 24 hours. Placed a 5lb bag of sugar on the plastic lid and feeding door since they had a reputation as escape artists. Wasn't worried about the 1/4" or so gap left between the filter and the lid adn tank top. My mistake.

He was there at 6:30 pm Fri night when I left the shop - came in Sat. at 9:00 am, went to check on him and he's gone.

That was over a month ago - haven't found him (or more likely his carcass) anywhere. It's a 2,500 sq foot shop and the back door leads to a small crick so I keep hoping he made a break for it....
