rearranged the tat the other day and loving the new look. the crabs have been bathing and climbing around!
my littlest one, Whales, just came back from a loooong molt so I am relieved to see he is okay. he even has a new shell! couldn't snap any pics of him but here is the new tat arrangement:

Looks awesome! I really like those food bowls, would love to get my hands on one... one day. Just shipping from the US is the killer.

Those are some cool decoration that you have for your crab! It looks very spacious and lots of room to crawl and walk around with, I am sure they are very happy! The bow front is also a nice addition as well!

thanks!!! I love the bow front too. a coworker had it in her attic & sold to me for a good price, so it was a really great find and quite an update from their old 20gal.

Those dishes are actually paint palettes and can be found at any art supply store and on Amazon in both plastic and ceramic. They're pretty inexpensive and I can't imagine shipping would be much, but I don't know where "overseas" is. I actually use mine for painting though, but it was less than $5 at Hobby Lobby. They make lots of different styles of them, most of which would make perfect crab food dishes.
