    thank you for your help. you know it was so cute i hated to remove it from its home. almost wanted to put to back. but can't chance it.

    i dipped the coral in reef dip i was worried about me handling it and stressing it out since at times i touched the skeleton. I'm guessing the teddy bear crab is why the center of the torch has a dead spot. couldn't see this when i bought it till i brought it home since it swells so large it covers over that dead spot. theres not that much out there written about the teddy bear crab, but seems there are two crabs people call a teddy bear. even with its latin name i couldn't find much info.

    you know when they first molt they aren't as furry, just a little furry, they have to grow all that fur back
