I have recently been very hands on with my crabs and have four of my five up. So I figured I'd share.

What is the best way to have them come out during the day? My habitat is very humid and they seem happy but only come out at night.

Nothing like making them comfortable. While they are out I try to be silent. No fast moves or anything sudden. Every time I see them out I try and make small moves and if any are up and easy to get to I offer food. Smelly smelly food. Hahaha. So a few now think I'm the magic food god. A few will even come up to me if they see me watching. Some are forever shy. My tank is also in my living room where my dog is fed. So they are pretty used to the hassle and bustle of my day to day noise.

Feel free to ask any questions or if you wanna know who's who in any photos.

The murexes are my female's Hermione who I have been calling RoxSand ...ooops [crabber problems! ], and Tina. [Hermione is the larger crab with more red and white. Tina is the smaller crab with the pretty blue berry/deep maroony red color. The two jade turbos are my males. Eugene the biggin and Herman who I'm renaming Gray is my littlest crab in the little turbo.

So cute! Do you have Es? Some of my crabs are always shy and scared. Like my Tina. I find the bigger she gets the more she trusts. I still only really see her when it's been silent and not a lot of movement out side the tank is happening.

Hahaha. That my big man in the tank Eugene! He was originally just smaller than my two largest crabs. Went right under for a molt after coming home and came up bigger than anyone! He also came up pastel pink, blue and purple! So I was definitely in awe of him.

I'm a crazy crab person when I see them doing anything haha. So I have loooads of photos!

Thanks for checking them out!
