That was him 1 month ago

I got this big PP for the past 2 , he got a successful molt about 1 years ago In the past years I’ve seen him change back and fort of shells. 2 weeks ago I found him into a ¾ inch shell, it look so weird because is previous shell was easy 2 inch opening. https://i.imgur.com/Py0jtuI.jpg https://i.img...

Actually right now I have a shallow dish that is sitting on the sand that contain all the shell.

Hello, My crabs have a lot of extra shell. They always get dirty with sands inside.
