Of course I hope it works!

That's very smart!
I'm making a shelf to hold one of my pools so it's not on the substrate aswell and I also was thinking about making or getting something to hold my shells better

If both of them are still alive it could be their food.
If you feed them things that can spoil quickly you could put it out in the night and take it out in the morning.

Could it also be rotting wood pieces?

Just for a treat sometimes I giving them popcorn (just regular pop corn kernels and I pop them before adding anything) and they go absolutely crazy for them! They eat them all the way to the kernels lol But if you are ordering from etsy mine also go crazy for protein mixes with freeze dried shrimp a...

It is completely normal for your crabs to be active during the day no worries!

I cant wait to see!

Of course!

I have loads of aquarium plants in my tank and I've never seem my crabs sitting and picking at them nor have I seen "bite" marks on them.
So you should be good to go!

Hii!

Shelly is but I can't tell for the others

If their big claw is purple then they are purple pinchers

I use the mats as climbing walls to get to second level but using as the second level sounds really cool!

And I almost always put my shells on a second level to keep them off the sand and I've never had any fall and break.

You can also put moss or foraging stuff on them.

I love the usage of natural wood and cholla wood!

And it could be fun to add second levels I always have fun doing that lol

It sounds like your feeding them very well!
