Actually my PPs had a spurt of that coloring, after re-surfacing I noticed one after another they were very violet in color. Kaylee, Matty then Adrian. Kaylee has since darkened into red/brown yellow tips like usual. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160304/5a511bff39e75d831b3ab06a5d181ad7.jpg http:...

From the couch view http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160302/cb045d9af7bbfda77328500a2e34555f.jpg Finally found a good upgrade that'll hold all my crabs. Substrate is low (3 EE bricks and my 20g tall substrate) until my crabs surface on the 37g so I can transfer the sub over. Everyone's cramped in t...

My small crab tank is a ghost town and it made me worrisome too till I found that out.

@landlubber I can only imagine your excitement about member's breeding threads and their success at it!!
@JMT I agree there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way at doing your best at anything tbh

Mine used to drink the condensation off the walls that way. Right after I'd spray the tank I'd see them come out and go spread-eagle, somehow consuming what looked like close to barely nothing grabbed off a drop on the glass. They got used to their SW/FW dishes eventually. Stir crazy sounds legit th...

How'd you flood it, how'd you find the flood?

Is he willing to send you photos of the actual lights, and a few of the canopy? You should be able to tell just by that, and I'd be happy to look them over as well to see if I can spot any problems. I've been on the lookout for good tank deals for years now, so we're always snooping at second hand ...

Whoah! The little devils! :confused2: Luckily they are very cute little devils. :smt084 Very cute & confusing lol I saw Adrian's shell with a purple crab drinking some water and I'm like 'awe' then 'wait a minute, he's huge!!'. Had to take a double take then a closer look to discover this big switc...

To be safe for your kids to eat that you can also feed the crabs I'd suggest granola with different fruits, chai seeds, raisins with just oats and honey.

So three of my crabs did a straight up, complete switch a roo. Which I can't figure out how unless exposed to each other but all are not harmed. Matty & Kaylee - Matty has the light lavender exo (dead giveaway he just molted) and green spotted turbo which WAS Adrian's (second pic - lavender exo also...

He seems happier already, yaaay for switching and socializing! All good signs!

I think we all are looking for a pic of him in the new shell :) So glad he finally made the move!! I have one in a painted shell, he has molted in it and been up for about a month and won't change. He has like 25 shells to choose from, but prefers to look like a football. :roll: I got new shells in...
