when I went to change tanks - the one that was buried ( the one I was not sure if it was dead or alive ) was on top of the substrate -- SO it is now in the new tank with all the others guess she just needed friends!!!

Re: Yay! She is alive!!
Glad she is okay.
There should be an area on the the cover which allows for poking out pre-made tabs on the top for tubing and such. Do you see anything like that?

Re: Yay! She is alive!!
no - I don't see anything like that - maybe I bought the wrong kind of lid ...? it is a metal one - said heat resistant...
Re: Yay! She is alive!!
Great news about your little crab 
!
Plastic aquarium lids come with cutouts for tubing and hinged glass lids have a heavy plastic strip at the back that allows you to cut out a notch for the tubing. For a mesh lid, you can cut out a small square in one rear corner with an Exacto knife, craft scissors or tin snips, just large enough to accommodate a length of airtubing.

My mesh lid as a lip that stops a quarter inch from each corner that allows me tho thread in 2 airlines.
Re: Yay! She is alive!!
maybe I will see if I can squeeze it through --- but I used a splitter to check air stones (in a tank) and only one *bubbles* the other seems to try - but does not get enough air....???

Re: Yay! She is alive!!
Do you have check valves?
Air (and water) take the path of least resistance. A check valve is used to ensure both airlines are getting equal/similar pressure, I'd look into one. Your local pet store should have one for a few bucks.
