They are both sleeping right now. I just got home like and hour ago. Fixed the tank and put them in! I haven't tried to find out the genders. I will get better pics when they are being more active. I will update you guys.

Why do you have christmas tree lights on your crabitat?
Did you want it to look festive?

I guess they would be a great way to do a DIY moonlight bulb(s) and they aren't "that" bright - and most are underneath the "substrate line" so very little light would shine into the tank...

I wasn't going for the festive look I was mainly going for the tumbler type look. Mainly for decoration. It kind of worked sorta didn't... But most of the lights are covered by insulation and substrate so it's not very bright.

This one is a male. He is pretty friendly. His colors are amazing. I have decided to name him mr. Fredrickson (from the movie up).

Haha, sorry the over happy/excited part of me took over!
Swoon (verb)
...To be overwhelmed by ecstatic joy...To be passionate about something... (common in "chat rooms")
Probably Sebastian is just giving them a good once over. Wouldn't think of anything serious.

Mr. Fredrickson is exploring some. I haven't seen him eat any thing, should I try to get him to eat anything or just let him be? The nameless crab is burrowed in the moss pit. He's most likely just destressing not Milton because he would be eaten if he molted there. I think Sebastian is down there with thin anyways.
