Re: giant shell decoration
I have a lot of earthy nature-themed decor, and have a big one as a decoration on a shelf in my critter room.
If you have a large enough crabitat and small enough crabs, they do make wonderful hides!

My crabs would get stuck, so I will not use mine.

Re: giant shell decoration
I also use shells like that for decoration in my crab room
Whatever you do, don't get rid of it! One of these days you will want it!
I personally would be paranoid that a crab would get stuck in it for a hide, but that is me!

Re: giant shell decoration
That's what i'm scared of, i don't want them to get stuck in it!
Maybe i'll just add it right in front of the tank on the table as a little decoration once i clean it up. It's so pretty, and i've never seen one this large! i wonder if there's a crab that could fit in it![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: giant shell decoration
I used a smaller big shell (over 4" opening, too large for my jumbos!) In my tiny crab tank for years without any crab ever getting stuck. They know how to get themselves in and out. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
