Bump On Blue Crayfish...

[triliaeris]

We've had our Blue Crayfish (Levi) for almost a year now. Anyway, after his last moult I noticed something odd on his head... see here:

It's like a little bump in his shell. He never had one before... is this something bad? Should I worry, or do you think he'll be alright? He's acting just normal... I just saw it and had to get an opinion!!

Thank you! He's grown up very well (he was maybe an inch long when we got him)! He has his own tank and he seems happy enough. This is the first odd thing I've noticed.

I've never seen anything like that. The color of the bump almost appears like shell rot, but I've never seen it there, and believe it would be elsewhere too if that was the case.

I've sat and watched him... no other places or anything, just that one bump.

if it was shell rot, it wouild have a discoloration. it doesn't seem to have a discoloration so I don't think tis shell rot

Have to agree, that is one beautiful creature.
