High Quality Crabitat

So here's my current crabitat. It's supposed to be like a beach. My saltwater dish seems too shallow to me so I might replace it soon. There are only two extra shells (both too large!) and I was panicking trying to find shells for my smaller crab (in the green turbo) because he seems really cramped. Luckily I discovered some solid sources and I'm awaiting an order of four more shells now. What do you guys think ?

I like the wood a lot! I would suggest adding a coco hut or similar as a hide. some fake plants would provide cover as well- maybe you can find some that look like palm trees to keep the beachy theme

Thanks for your suggestions! There is a hide, though it's not visible in the image. It's buried into the hill.

I like the wood too! What kind of wood is it? And I second the greenery. Ads an nice natural look and crabbies feel more secure.

The wood is oak from my yard.

Definitely agree with adding some fake plants, it'd make them feel more secure while being out in the open. :wink: Otherwise it looks good!

Looks great! RE: fake plants, one great way yo get a TON of fake plants for amlost nothing is to buy fake plants at a craft store. Attach them to some suction cups or cut yourself a little log or piece of scrap wood and drill a little hole and stick them in for some standing plants ;)
