how many crawl-outs have you experienced with inverts?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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 had a couple crabs that crawled out....2 of them crawled up my filter spout and into my filter where they live for a good couple weeks.....dont kno what they ate but they stayed there until i put them back in
 
The lobster ive got just makes random nests all over the tank, like little love pads, he tried actin hard till me sailfin kicked his ass, now he just sulks about! I did have about 5 red crabs, 1 just died, the other 3 lived in my filter house for a while before escaping....only ever found one though....he was all dried up under my bed, poor little dude!

thats why the tank i keep mine is gaffataped the fcuk up,its quite funny, its more expensive to keep buyin the gaffatape than it is to by them food. bastads
 
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.:WHOA:

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....:shakehead
 
just 1 common brown cray...
he'd always hang out at the surface...then one day gone...been missing now for almost 1 year....but Knowning the room and the layout of the hosue...only place I can think of..
my wifes cat's belly :)
 
I have a crayfish and 2 red claw crabs and none have escaped....yet. every now and then i see them climbing up the cords but i catch them in the act and set them back down. Crayfish though, im not touching him. Watched him chop my african chiclid in half :( poor guy
