total shock!

I was doing my tank thing this morning and I saw my scooter rip a blue legged from its shell and then eat it alive. OMG, I guess I dont have to worry about pods, he will eat anything.

Ha! that's funny! I had the same thing happen with the first seahorse i got-- and when i saw the crab on the seahorses snut, i quick reached in and 'rescued' the seahorse.... a week later or so, i saw a thing ion discovery on seahorses, and they were showing them eating crabs, shrinmp even small fish! so i realized then, that i did not 'rescue' my seahorse, but stole his food!
Since then, i have watched him,a nd saw him snag a couple blue legs.... my most recent seahrose went on a hunt for them when i put him in the tank... got 2 within the first hour he was in the tank.... its fun to watch, but I am now looking for a cheap supplier of blue legs
I pay .99 each at my lfs....

I almost saved the scooter. Then I gave him a second. He ate it all gone. I also thought he was going to choke on it Then what do you do? But he is fine and he is off hunting again.
