Howdy folks! Just showing off my crabs!
"Big Boy" spends most of the day hidden away, typically partially buried, but is a real chow hound at night (and he really likes the apple chunks). He came home in an oversized (and particularly pointy) Murex shell similar to Steve's below but quickly ditched it the instant he was given another option. The Muffin shell he is in is about 3.5 inches across for scale, but that doesn't stop him from climbing everything in the tank. He's the most skittish of all the crabs - I suspect he was the one most picked up by the kids of his former owner.
Steve (L - Murex) and Herman (R - Turbo) had a little 'fight' when they first met, but now they seem to be best friends and can usually be found together like this. Steve is kinda skittish, but Herman is super chill and likes to sit and watch you. I really wish Steve would take a 'normal' shell and ditch the pointy thing, but he doesn't seem to like my current selection of shells. (There are six that should be his size in the tank)
"Lolipop" is the smallest and most active of my crabs and can be found tearing around the tank almost any time of day or night. He's pretty fearless and likes to play with your finger through the glass - even chasing it around the tank. He is the one most often found on the hamster wheel.
Have a nice day and thanks for all the advice on these forums!
