Crab wickstretcher 70×96 42 262 August 2020 (not a clean seed: builds extra glider intended to react with a c/3 wick-burning fuse in a way that will cleanly destroy the crab with no output gliders and can be used to produce an elbow block at arbitrary distances; leaves some ash behind)
Crab double wickstretcher 96×94 60 355 August 2020 (not a clean seed: builds extra gliders intended to react with a c/3 wick-burning fuse in a way that will cleanly destroy the crab with no output gliders and can be used to produce an elbow block at arbitrary distances, leaves some ash behind; the northwest wick can be burnt without destroying the southeast wick or the crab, leaving behind a secondary elbow block)
