Where have you found such interestingly colored crabs?wodesorel wrote:Yep, they are all Purple Pinchers!
Cool! I have a guy down for a month now, maybe he’s morphing into a weird color form like that.wodesorel wrote:They just randomly come up that way, and the next molt go back to more normal. I've had everything from smalls to jumbos do it. These guys are all borderline jumbos though.
Do you think the change could be due to increase in certain foods? Like in humans eating a lot of carrots (like A LOT) can cause a yellow discoloration of the skin?wodesorel wrote:They just randomly come up that way, and the next molt go back to more normal.

I doubt it. Up until a couple of years ago it would have meant starving themselves while waiting for something particular to come around as I was feeding individual food items on random rotation. Now it would be picking through a very varied mix for one or two things. The color itself is just a stronger version of their own regular coloration, like someone had jacked the saturation and brightness up.Ankutchey wrote:Do you think the change could be due to increase in certain foods?
