The Menagerie

Since I'm home sick, figured I'd post some photos of my crew.
Drake, my very suave male. Only male in the tank, lucky boy. He's the boldest of the crabs and will take food from my fingers. He's a very hungry boy and always first to the food bowl. He's my fave, such a personable guy. Gets along with everybody so well, but doesn't take any crap either. Good creb.
Amelia, my big girl. She's down molting again right now, but she's my largest crab and my other favorite. All the other crabs love her and follow her around, trying to snuggle. They all gravitate towards the Queen Crab.
Darwin, my stubborn, grumpy girl. She likes to try and boss the other crabs around, but only succeeds with the tiny ones.
Jules, my first crab. She's steadily grown more and more purple as time goes by. She's down molting right now, but expected back any day.
Horner, one of my two very shy Es. Quick little girl, usually all I see of her is a quick flash as she runs away.
Anning, my other E. I spotted her just the other day, but both my Es are very shy and I rarely see either of them.
Carson, one of my two tiny girls. She's also very shy and I rarely see her. This photo was the first night she came home, missing a leg (which she later regrew). She's shy, but also feisty if caught. Last time I had to move her, she was doing her darnedest to pinch me. Tiny little powerhouse!
Beebe, the other itty bitty girl. Both she and Carson came home together and had been kept with no food for weeks at the pet store (despite my numerous complaints to the management to provide them with food). Finally, I just gave up and brought them home. She's the shyest of all my crabs and seeing her is a rare event. This was her the first night she was home, eating faster than any crab I'd ever seen.
And the crew at large. Jules climbing around, Horner hiding out in the bushes, and Drake (as usual) stuffing his face in the food bowl.

I'm living vicariously through everyone else!
I also love the tank decorations - how big is your tank?
