Anybody live in Australia?

Do you know if Australia can buy Coenobita perlatus?

If yes, are they come from local Australia or Indonesia?

Someone said straw need sun bath in order to prevent losing colour of their body.

Anyone did that?

I heard someone said pre-molt crab, the colour of their leg's joints will become darker, see picture in blue circle.


I have not seen this before, anyone saw that??

Any tips for large Straw?

Anyone who have big straw (coenobita perlatus) over 5 years?

Can share experience to us?

We found big straw usually die easily.

My friend have a Indos move to Turbo petholatus 2 months ago, then his body colour change to brown. (original colour is light purple)

But she did not molt within these 2 months.

Do you have this experience?

I would like to ask if your crabs molt, do you isolate him/her if you have more than 2-3 crabs in a tank..I saw many crabs lover keep many crabs in one tank.

How you deal with the crab moling??

Any updated news about this species??

oh~~~~I think need to isolate him, so that he will not be distrubed by others......hope he could recover after next molt
