Hiya! I finally got 3 new tenants in my 90 gallon! I was intending on picking up 2 adoptees, but it fell through and another crabber I believe is getting them
I got them from a Pet Supplies Plus in the area, because I had gone a week earlier to check it out, and all of their crabs were powder blue, with tan joints! It was odd, and I wanted them.
However, I ended up grabbing 3 others. One is a small PP, the other two are up for debate.
Our first is Pockets, who I am stuck between the ID of a Ruggie or E. (These were the best pictures I got, he's destressing now)
And Here's Walnut. I couldn't pick him up, as he's reach so far out. But he is dark brown, and has skinny, pointy legs. He may be a PP, but I kinda feel like he doesn't fit the bill.

Pics of their BP's will confirm 100% but it is most likely that they are E's.

Okiedokie! After they have settled in, I may take a peek at them! the second they got put in their container (I moved them into a Tupperware w/ some sub in it) they never once stopped moving! Very active crabs. And thank you! They sure are adorable.

Re: New Crabs - ID Help?
As far as I've read into them that is par for the course with Es. They are the most active species of land hermit crabs. Kinda jealous though I dont have space for more currently
