Today when I went to feed the crew I noticed something strange out of the corner of my eye. Somehow little ninja managed to climb up the smooth bamboo stake holding up one corner of the net level, by the single strand of twine each side, and was sleeping on top with a single leg hooked under the twine. No mean feat with a normal shell, with the sheer length of his it would have been even harder.
I snapped a couple of (blurry) pics then left him to it, after a while I noticed movement, at which point the little guy promptly fell off. They constantly amaze me with their climbing abilities, but the fails have to be laughed at.
Rupert has recently changed into a funky new giant polished turbo shell and looks (and moves) much better now. Apparently the murex were not to his liking, but the shell is beautiful and really shows off his gorgeous colouring.
I finally saw him on the net second level I crocheted for them, instead of just the vandalism and pulled down suction cups aftermath. I got some lovely pictures showing off his colouring then managed to get a video of some attempted vandalism followed by his batcrab impression. Ninja also features briefly as he scuttles from dinner into Rupert's coconut hut, luckily they get on well despite the huge size difference!
