Right now they're all sleeping but earlier I saw Goliath out on the wheel. I've never seen a crab use a hamster wheel before. He was strolling very casually. He got shy when the whole family crowded around to watch and abandoned it but it was neat to see him use it.

My daughter caught this great pic of a pair of ours that have been hanging out together a lot. The littler one is the newest addition to the tank so it's nice to see she's made a friend. They're almost always out together at the same time.

This is Bubba ! He just finished a molt about a week ago . He keeps changing shells every couple of days . He continues to come back to his old shell and then tries out a new one . He's pretty funny ! Image

Here's Kelp! He came out from his most recent molt about 2 days ago but he's been hiding behind the pools until today:) I think it's his third molt with us.Image
