Best Species

Post by C: ClareCrabOwner :) » Wed Feb 12, 2025 4:31 pm

Okay, so I know PPs are generally recomended as the easiest crabs to start with. What other crabs would you recommend if I want to get more species at some point in the future? I've heard some are hard to keep alive for more than a few years, and are only recommended for more experienced crabbers, but I can't remember which species those were...
Thank you! :)

Strawberry hermit crabs are pretty but also tend to not do well in captivity, you might be thinking of those
