Sylvestra...ive had her for 6 years now, shes one of the biggest crabs I have. I got her while i was still using commercial foods, during which she lost her vision. Shes been blind for 5 years now...but does amazing and is by far one of the most active crabs--climbing--in the tank, other than maybe Mandarin.
When I first got her 2004:

After her molt last month!

Florette when I first got her in 2006. I adopted her from a local scuba instructor who mistakenly took her home in a shell she collected from a beach in Belize. Florette spent the airplane trip home in the cold cargo, and then another 2 weeks in the ziplock bag the lady had the shell collection in...only to find Florette when she was rinsing them out! Florette was about the size of a green pea, I was so worried shed get lost in the tank, but she did great! :
She changed shells pretty quick..good thing I still had those tiny craft shells around!


2006, with her tank mates, the crab next to her was about golfball size--

2007--

Florette after her molt last week--


Shes quite a bit bigger now


Hope you enjoyed the crabby progression!!
