Does anyone have photos or videos of crabs "ka-noodling"?

I think i might have caught my 2 of my crabs doing the hanky-panky, but I'm not positive because i've never seen it before. If anyone has photos or videos of their crabs doing it please let me know!

Hit enter too quickly.
These are a couple of threads regarding breeding.

Thanks, the second thread i already saw, but I'm still not sure if my crabs were doing anything or if one was just taking a ride on the other's back. Its definitely not a behavior i've ever seen before and they stopped before i could get my camera.

I've only witnessed guarding behavior and males grappling over a female. I haven't witnessed the actual deed.









Please excuse the messy crabitat.

Almost forgot about Wodesorel's video:

okay based off the video the guarding is what i saw, not the deed. Thanks a lot callalily!
