She’ll fight

Don’t have much just time what do I do I can’t separate them
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.

Dunk them both in the pool, and rinse a few choice shells in saltwater. If they are serious though, one will continue to attack the other and will need contained separately.

I ended up separating them and the attacker is in a 10 gal. It was very scary, I heard chirping from PPs for the first time. Just seeing a big pincer open a milimeter from a leg got my nerves up

Hermit jail time. One of my crabs was a bully. Lost all his friends from his antics.
