	Fiddler Crab
Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Here is my fiddler crab trying to chase away the fish from an algae wafer it has claimed as its own. Despite the formidable appearance of the claw, it is actually quite weak and essentially useless. It cannot pinch the fish with it, so it just uses it to "punch" them. It's really funny to watch. The fish will always come back until the crab picks up the algae wafer and runs away with it. Getting punched by the crab is just a minor annoyance to them.
