well i have a total of 75gal set up and i have about 26 crabs 11 r es and 15 r pps.
so i notice that wen i check the tank there are always 2-4 little groups and each of them claim a little part of the tank exept when eating or drinking. burt i notice wen i put food in there the biggest crab of the group usually will lead the rest of the crabs 2 the food. its like fish schooling its so cool.
so my groups r usually because some times a few odd guys switch:
2large pps 2 med pps 1 large ec they take over the top part of the tank or they all live in a giant hole they make together.
1 med ec 4 small ecs 2 tiny ecs 4 med pps take over this one fake plat that has huge leaves and dig under it and sit on top of the leaves where depending on how i set up the tank i usually have it so when the condensation falls in the morning it like rains on that area.
3med ecs 1 tiny pp the agressive group that goes to the above groups and "battles" them. its so funny how the littlest group goes to the largest group in a quick fashion an starts boxing them over and off of stuff.they r the fastest guys in the tank omg they r super speed and even the pp is faster than most ecs exept these ones.and they sit it the water dishes when they arent ighting they just sit in the salt water dish and hit each other over. then they goto war after as a group. they are the most fun group to watch.
1tiny pp 6 teeny pps 2 micro pps: they are the tiny group they are all tiny crabs. they spend there every minute on this one piece of drift wood. untill i got them it was a full peice of drift wood now its completely hollow inside and has many holes to the out side they all shove them selves in the holes and carve it out more. i can never take the drift wood out now becasue even if i check theres always one left inside some how. this group will sometimes spit up to move to under the rock and they have a 3 in deep cavern they sit in under the rock. the agressive group usually has a tunnel system from the rock to the water so the agressive group usually is under the rock or in a tunnel b4 they attack
