Still don’t have a name idea for the little one yet though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's cute, I like those names!

Ok thanks any name suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A lot of times I get names from my favorite movies. I love the 2018 Aquaman with Jason Momoa. I rescued 4 crabs in May, and they all have names from that movie lol. I also have a crab named Petunia, because it's one of my favorite f...

I also forgot to mention that we dipped them all in the saltwater before putting them in, and at the very beginning they crawled on top of eachother and used the other crabs shell as a kind of boost to get them forward is this aggressive behaviour??

Update: I scrounged through my hard drive to post some more of the pics I took over the years - May 23, 2012 I believe this is after a second molt with the same shell when I first bought him. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50226906843_d6419bd3ae_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/502269...

This is the new favorite spot. On top of the camera. One guy has been up there for 2 days. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200814/62f44a35580e9782b4a9cc5c6de4937c.jpg Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Move over tree hideout, the camera is the new place to hang!

I agree with HermieLover. I have 7 crabs, and I can't remember the last time I've seen them all up together. There's always a group of 3-4 going under together. [emoji4]

Woke up this morning and found it resting in some moss. I cleaned out 4 shells and gave them a dip, then took out the crab and gave it a bath. It had a lot more energy today. I put the shells in a dish with 1/2 inch of fresh declor and then put it back into the iso and came back in an hour and it h...

Crabs-lex gave some good advice. Your tank conditions sound pretty good to me. And it sounds as if your doing what you can to get him back in a shell.
