    Why do you dislike them?

    I probably have a dozen or so in there now, only two or three characters that I readily recognize.

    One of them is a little *******

    I like the ones that stay the size of dime and have blue legs.

    The others crawl on my corals eat the occasional snail.

    Just never been a big fan of them, they are cool with the shell, without it they look like creepy little creatures, it's a personal thing. ::)

    is the small blue leg a version of the electric blue? I have one of those but he certainly isn't dime sized.
