Okay, you creeper..

Minding my own business, checking the temp in the 55, and I see this:

I don't know who it is (I can only reliably ID like..7 crabs) but he didn't even flinch when I stuck my phone in his face for a pic. He's probably wondering why I didn't feed him. I hate when they stare at me, haha!

Remember that picture you posted a while back about your crabbies planning world domination? I'm telling you, you need to evacuate the house immediately :P :lol:

Lol I can relate. I have one of my tanks beside my couch so I can admire them, sometimes I look over from watching tv and I see those black beady eyes staring me down. Sometimes it's a group of those eyes which is worse. Though I'm usually the one creeping on them

Both of my tanks are in the living room so I can see them, and usually there's at least one set of eyes staring at me. Or it's a crab loudly trying to climb the glass for the 20th night in a row (not naming names, but dang it, Biggie!) or there's random chirping for no reason that I can tell.

Whoever it is they look adorable! Such soft, pretty coloring. I like the puppy dog eyes they have. :puppydogeyes:: How can critters with eyestalks, no eyebrows or face to speak for expression, manage such clearly darling puppy dog eyes? Never fails to amaze me.

@landlubberhaha it's amazing isn't it? I have often wondered the same thing.


The random chirping is the worst! I always rush to the tank to see if I can spot a fight and I can never see anything! I hate it when I hear the clank in the middle of the night, the one when you think your crab broke the glass because it was so amazingly loud.

If you hear a chirp and there is no crab around to make it, was there really a chirp?

That's really too deep for me even think about, Kelly. :lol:

Thanks! They do have the cutest eyes. Of course, I would love to own a species with different shaped eyes but the PPs are cute enough. They totally express plenty of emotions with their wildly waving antenna. :lol:
