I recently bought two more crabs, one small E and one small PP, so my tank is officially full Dad wanted to know when he would need to buy me a 55 gallon LOL. It'll wait until after college. The newcomers are pretty shy, I chose the PP because her shell was WAY to big, of course she changed into a new shell but it's about the same size, maybe even bigger, guess she just likes big shells. I haven't been able to sex her yet, she's too shy. I chose the E because she was buried in the gravel at the store, so I assumed he had to molt. As soon as I brought him home he buried in the sand and has not come up.
Most of the pics are of Aphrodite because she is not scared of me at all (if you look she's in 90% of the pictures even if she's not the subject), Rhea isn't too scared either, maybe PPs are just more timid?
Aphrodite, my biggest crab (Titan's catching up though):
Titan (he changed shells and then Ophelia took his old one):
Ophelia, she's gotten lighter, before she was very dark purple all over, her BP was the same color as the rest of her, she looks more like Titan now:
Titan politely telling Ophelia to get away from his food:
Antennae talk:
Rhea (also in a new shell, whenever I get new crabs they all go crazy):
The only pic I could get of the new PP, she's scared:
I'll get more pics of the PP and some of the new E whenever he comes up, hope you enjoyed!

Thanks everybody! I love Aphrodite more and more everyday, she's almost always out and doing something, she definitely has her own personality, she's like the mother of the group, she's very much in charge of the little ones, not too aggressive but she meets every one that is out/up and they listen to her.
My parents are both pretty good about the pets, they've really let me do what I want with them, I'm really lucky in that regard. They've let me get gerbils, a frog, hermit crabs, a leopard gecko, the cats (that was there idea though, they would never get a pet they had to interact with unless they wanted it too), and have always let me buy what they need to be healthy without questioning me too much, they know I know way more about all the pets than them.
