[Crabbycammy]

I have a few crabs and everything was at peace then my jumbo crab scarlett decided he didnt like my nickle size resent pet store Rescue. Munckin is the lityle guy. So one day i hear chirping and i knew something was up, so take a look at whats going on and scarlett had munchkin upside and was shaking him in his shell (scarlet is 10x bigger the munchkin). I got him off and took a look at munchkin, he seemed fine and i helped him into better hiding the big guys cant fit in. Well scarlt now is standing gard at the entrence, and chirping so i took munchkin and put it in a container, in the enclosure, now the aggresser it the one chirping. I dont know whats going on with these two, any suggestions? Whats going on

It's a 55gal and there are 7, 3 jumbo and 4 between a nickel and toonie, size. It was one I got who didn't look good from pet smart I decided to save it and I think what was happening is its shedding (as it's out shedding) and the big guy was trying eat the little one. I got it in a container in the tank and it's shedding now. I have a bunch of shells and the jumbo was acting like a description of a shell nabber, except there is no way one of my biggest would fit in my smallest crabs shell (nickel size). But I'm thinking it was trying to eat it. Everything is good now little guy is almost out of its old skin. It dose look very orange down so I think it's a e crab, and possibly one of my big guys are a e crab but the rest have a lot of purple so pp.

They have a bunch of shells, D and O opening ones different size and color, at least 3-4 each and a few extras... None have paint and they are shell shaped...
