Gorgeous crab! What species is that?

Thanks, everyone. She appears to still have the eggs this morning, based on her behavior, not a visual confirmation. She is acting clearly uncomfortable and the eggs appeared quite dark yesterday. I rarely interfere with my crabs, but I am considering gently setting her in the shallow saltwater poo...

Wow!! I'm going to have to do a drive by at Joanns! Looks like u got some of those whales or shark eye shells and I am in need of some for our little black sheep - only one that doesn't prefer turbos :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah I got a bunch of those in a variety pack. Most of them w...

I got a great selection from Joann's. The E changed into one of the whale eyes and the PP's went crazy over the turbos. I'm using the flat shells as food dishes and will be making picture frames with the flat shells for gifts. I also sent some smaller turbos to some people who needed them for their...

Yeah I just read up on them. Is it true you can crush up shells as a calcium supplement? I'll likely use them for that and gifts and crafts

Hahaha you should see my crabs. They made their own run way under the sub. I can see them walking back and forth between the tank walls practicing their struts for the new shells

You are in the wrong hobby if you dislike bugs that much... Crabitats are the perfect environment for bugs. I can't tell you how many different types of critters I've found in my tats. Right now they are loaded with food mites--1000's of them. To get rid of the food mites, I had loaded the tanks do...

I just got my crabs October 20th and they are now both molting so my tank is practically lifeless. It's sad but I'll be patient. But at least this gives me time to clean and place their new shells, fix the moss pit (which collapsed right where I believe Olve dug down, which worries me), boil their ...
