Edit: Wow, I just looked~ it was from over a year ago! I’ll look to see if I have more recent pics, and then I’ll take pics in the next couple of days Image

Your crabitats are absolutely beautiful. I would love to have a room like that. I’ve been changing my 55gallon around a lot lately trying to get it just the way I want it and my boyfriend said that I’m probably disturbing my crabs (I have 7 small). Is that true or is it ok to change it around until I have it “just right”?

If your crabs are up you are fine. If they are down, you don’t want to pull anything up out of the sand because that could collapse tunnels and molting caves. You also wouldn’t want to push anything into the sand for the same reasons. Image

Are you happy with your surface pools? Are they doubled? I'll be upgrading from a 40 breeder to a 75gal and want to do surface pools.

Yes. I love my surface pools. Yes. They are doubled. I'm sorry that I'm just now seeing this question.

I have a pet room too. My crabs, tortoise, and fish are in there, but I usually just call it the crabby room lol. Image
