As far as I can remember Mopani ,grape,ghost wood,driftwoods are ok and will not harm the crabbies. They like to pick at every thing don't they?

Yea they do. Nemo sat there for a few HOURS picking at the wood. At first I thought it was just hiding at the end of it. Later when it was still sitting there, i got the flash light and looked closer, it was eating it! I was like WOW! When Nemo finally wondered off, there was a huge hole and no mess on the sand, so it had to of been eating it. I was just really surprised and kinda worried! Thanks for letting me know its okay. :)

Mine sit for hours eating the mopani, cholla, and grapewood. :) After almost two years you can just start to see where the favorite dinnertime spots are as the wood has all these little tiny scrape marks! :LOL: Small green branches from oak and maple have been an absolute hit, and within a few days nothing is left but tiny little splinters!
