Yesterday we had a lobster molt in our tanks overnight.  90% of the exoskeleton was off and the lobster had only one claw left to pull out of it’s former body (pic below).  More pics and video at 8AM-

I had my first sausage sandwich of the Fiesta Wednesday morning around 10:00AM.  Ambie was all set up outside of the Fort Square Cafe. Sausage sandwiches with the peppers and onions are a must during Fiesta.
