    I keep finding small crabs in my pool! I live only a block from the ocean so I guess that is where they are coming from, just not sure how they are getting into the screen room. I guess they like the salt from my SWG.

    Oh I don't know about living in there.. the turtle we had was just one we found in there and immediately dipped out! He went on his way and we haven't seen him since. I really don't want to have any creatures living in the pool.

    I found him in the skimmer and removed him as soon as I found him. Now he's safe in a climate-controlled aquarium with his other buddies.
