Beau always sits on the calcium powder dish when he's waiting his turn for the wheel. There are 2 wheels in the tank, but Beau prefers this one lol.

I agree with Curly to wait a bit. My oldest and biggest crab went under at the end of Dec. He usually takes 3 months to resurface. I'm patiently awaiting his arrival at the end of March lol.

I've got one that has been missing for a good month if not two at this point. I am worried to death. But wouldn't there be that 'smell' if they passed even under the sand??? I keep telling myself since I don't smell anything off, she's just doing her thing. ??? I had a small crab go missing for 7 w...

wow!! My other crab just came up from molting as we speak! I am so relieved but feel even more pressed to get the tank ASAP. Should I isolate him right away? People think crabs are cheap pets, but getting them initially setup can cost a bit, so I totally understand. As long as a crab didn't surface...
