I love that he gives a complete test drive.
Jump up - check
Retract - check
Run - check
Climb - check

Yeah. I tossed in the new shells and started feeding my cowfish then i noticed the crab checking out a shell. I grabbed my camera and a beer and sat for about 10 mins until i got him in action. He switched shells again about an hour or two later but i missed that
