Hello I would like to learn more about my little purple pinchers.

Hello, I suggest you search the Care Sheets, Guides, and Frequently Asked Questions forum! Lots of information on there.

Welcome to crabbing! I agree with checking out the care sheets - start with the 'basics' one, it even has a picture of a basic tank set up. Feel free to ask questions. And when you look through the photos section, remember that there are many people posting photos of really elaborate set ups - and that those over-the-top tanks are really more for the human's enjoyment than the crabs. A person can get really elaborate, and spend a ton of money if they want, and many people find that part of the hobby really enjoyable. However, many of us have very basic tanks on a budget, and our crabs are just as happy and healthy!

I'm concerned that one of my crabs is dead after molting it has not responded to my touch nor my talking, etc. It also lost big pincher after molting.
