I haven't had the opportunity to check yet whether the viola is male or female. I just tend to refer to all crabs as males until I know for sure.

Your crabs are amazing! I'm trying to get my crabs to look like that by feeding it a bunch of coconut

This is Bob, he came in this shell and we're waiting for him to change into a non-painted one that we bought! But he's blue

A number of my compressus are gaining blue color. Some after molting, but some in the inter-molt phase.

I have been watching a number of animals changing color during the inter-molt phase. Fascinating.
