Hi, new crab owner of 2

Post by Korey80 » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:41 am

I have had my new crab babies for about a month now. I brought some coconut husk for them, also with dried moss that I moistened everyday with spray bottle. Yesterday I removed the moss for new moss and saw a whole lot of white specs. Can anyone tell me what they might be. I have a pic of it.

Welcome to crabbing! Sounds like you're off to a great start providing a humid environment. Definitely post any photos you have of the white specks. I embed images in my posts by hitting the picture button (with all the other buttons at the top of the text box when you write a new message). that just pasts the following code into your post: [ img ] [ /img ] (without the spaces)

You can insert your image by placing the url of the image between the two sets of brackets (the url should end in something like .jpg). Like this:
[ img ] yoururlgoeshere [ /img ] (again without the spaces)

You can find an image url by right clicking on the image and hitting the "open image in new tab" button and then copying the site address (which should be your url)
