Thats kind of neat.  Allows you to see what they look like in there if you hadnt seen one out of the shell before.


I wonder how the crab likes it when he is hiding in there and can see out.

I don't think that shellies would like them.

I agree 100%. While the crabs probably aren't affected by being visible, the shell dwellers utilize a shell for cover and if they can see through them, I would think their stress level would be increased using this novelty.

Those are awesome.  Would make me want to get some invertebrates.

I kinda' like that idea...I will be able to..."see"...inside the shell. Not sure the Shellies will "check-in" to this type of New Home. May order a couple or so and "sea" what happens...lol... 8)
