I took him home for the day from the integrative biology labs. He was fun!

As a quick answer to most questions:

No I did not keep him, I had him for a day and that was it. I kept him in a bin filled with treated saltwater, you can see it in the background.

Yes, it is perfectly fine having it out of the water, they naturally come out of the water all the time in the wild. You are ignorant to think me inhumane for having it out of water.

The labs I took him from could care less if I took one. They had about eight or nine of them. Aside from the one lab we did extracting hemolymph from them, they had no other use for the rest of the school year. They are relatively cheap and the college most likely buys them from a wholesale biology supplier.
