Other than my little E Santiago, all my crabs are hiding / doing nothing!! I have one named Clyde who hasn't moved in days. They are all so lazy :lol

One fast dude. I think he just came up tonight. I don't recognize his shell from recent video. And from what I can tell he's the newest guy I got a couple of months ago.

They are lovin' the new "non" shell shop. If you look closely, zoom in if you can, there are 3 crabs checking out the shells. I know they get dirtier this way but the crabs find it easier.

I posted "oops" a couple if days ago.
Here is Oops 2
https://youtu.be/H1N2C-Q9mf0

And here is Oops 3
https://youtu.be/yRJJ-_mUJxw

It's the same guy all 3 times. Either he's incredibly stupid or incredibly fun and adventurous and doing this on purpose.

Now here's another guy. This is ninja crab. He's know for spontaniously rolling backwards. Apparently, he rolls sideways also.

Watch the ladder on the left. It's like he's sliding down a banister. This guy is the one who also is always walking fast.

I don't think you can zoom in so it may be really hard to see. You need to look at the left side midway up, by the food dish. They're playing leap frog. Or is it leap crab?
