It seems like aquariums are to humans as shells are to crabs. Like putting one shell on a populated beach it triggers a bunch of changes lol

Haha, don't tempt me! Although, with it being like a "rescue" it sort of is a vacation home for some of them.

Cute crabbies too!

Thank you

Don't feel bad! I'm sure your tank is great!!!
Thank you though! That's funny that he thought they were paintings!

I'll be sure to keep the updates coming.

Typical Dinner
Frozen Staple (mixture of fruits, veggies, shrimp, fish, pork, and chicken) topped with chicken bone and egg shell.
Dry Staples- Fruit Flower & Seeds, Nuts Bark & Leaves, and Veggies & Meat, & some coconut flakes.

Crabs eating

Black ruggie

A few weeks ago I found a set of PP's going at it, and a set of E's going at it...
I was able to get this pic onto Instagram, but my phone broke days later and I lost the original pics and the video.

I've checked both females and it appears that only the E's took, or perhaps i'm looking at the wrong PP

It's tough when ten of them have the same shell on.
I'll keep an eye out though!
