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.

I've given my crabs some leafs of a house plant of mine and they are fine. I don't know about any other plants though, sorry

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. :D

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 :)
