It's entertaining.

It can be.

Porcelain Crab?

israelnajar · 01/29/2009, 10:02 AM

That was my guess.
But I will go with this one instead.

Pom pom crab

Pom pom crab

Give me a 'P'! Give me an 'O'! Give me an 'M'! Yaaay..! It is a Pom Pom Crab!

Pom Pom crabs will actually sweep their anemones across a surface, then eat anything they capture out of their tentacles. They stay small, but have to move the anemones to their new carapace when they do molt. They are both filter feeders and can eat both a little algae and meat. They also beg the question, are those host anemones, or a host crustacean?

+2 to isrealnajar for the correct answer.
24 hours for the 1 point steal.

Whys · 01/29/2009, 02:21 PM

The scores are getting close. Both isrealnajar and daz4321 are tied for the lead at +8.

isrealnajar gets first option to riddle, and depending on how things play out, it's possible this game may need a system of tie breaking. Give that some thought, because I haven't decided on anything.

israelnajar · 01/29/2009, 02:33 PM

Freakin sweet. I was pretty sure it was the Porcelain Crab. But I'm glad it was guessed before me.

Anyway.

Looking for the common name.

It is an invert.

Is it an invert that we would spend money on?
