is there any safe plants that can be used in a crab tat? I'm awaiting a custom made BIG tank . I'd like to put real plants in it.

Yep! Many that are reptile safe I regard as crabby safe. The important thing is not to go out and purchase $$$ of plants. They will be destroyed.
THis list here, is what other crabs have tried and been somewhat successful - aka: crabs alive and crabs killed the plant.

Aloe is also on the safe food list. I have put an Aloe plant in one of my crabitats. They have munched on it, and climbed on it, but it is still alive. I have owned it for a very long time...we owned it at our old house 20 years ago, and it sprouts many babies. Remember, no fertilizers or pesticides 

Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
