We regularly find these crabs in our home, we have a stream running through our backyard so we always just put them back there. But curious what type of grab they are?

Winny the crab is dead/dying

Owner stating that it has nothing to do with her husbandry. Experienced crab keepers tried to tell her but that woman is a lesson in willful ignorance. Anyway the pros who predicted her death were right on the nose. I’m sure the shell rot she arrived with contribute, but…

Can I ask if this crab was ever receiving the right care? It seems like she was never truly improving no matter what Laura posted about her

Cecil, just being her natural self.

Nothing exciting, no moults, no 'lucky well timed' clips of her doing something comical.

Just Cecil being a crab. And to me, it's just beautiful to watch 😍

0 leg -> 4 leg recovery

I want to show you guys my crab, who went from having no legs and just claws, to molting and recovering under my care!

I named him kuai, or lump in chinese, and he is a baby Johngarthia weileri, an extremely rare crab

My Red claw crab problem solving

I tried to make the video better for viewing with filters as it was lights out for the crabs + feeding, and i was able to catch this one problem solving as one of the crab pellets had fallen in between a rock. This was the coolest thing to see!

Red apple crabs

Had them a few months now and so pleased with how they're thriving, all 3 have successfully molted. I'm actually surprised by how much they seem to eat! I was expecting not to see them much either but they seemed to figure out quite quickly that the silly human that talks to them isn't harmful and brings food. They're also ridiculously nimble, they climb so much better than I was expecting.

Kevin the PomPom just molted!

Haven’t seen my pom-pom crabs since I first got them months ago lol but I found this guy while I was doing a water change on top of one of the floating hideouts! I saw one of his legs in front of him and realized he came to molt and rest! Also, Gemini AI decided to call him Kevin even though I never mentioned any word close to Kevin lol, so Kevin he is.

Fiddler ID request

Found this little guy in Hernando Beach, Florida (the western coast, along the gulf of mexico). I checked a few sites for known species, but I couldn't find one that I felt was a good match (particularly because of the green carapace). I will look a little more, but if anyone has seen one of these little guys and knows what it is, I would love to know! (P.S. I am holding it like this because he wouldn't hold still for a picture)

Escaped crab found!!!!

So my husband and I woke up this morning to get ready for work and he went to put his boot on and yells "babe your crabs in my boot" lol. Kinda funny actually it was funny but Im trying to figure out how he escaped. Because the lid is most definitely secured with locks and heavy things on top to make sure. But I noticed him missing a week ago and thought that he had gone down to molt. Well, boy was I wrong. I feel awful for him though. He hasn't ate or drank in a week that I know of. When I put him back in he popped out his shell instantly like thank God im home and started walking around. Should i be worried or is there anything i need to do special for him since he hasnt had fluids or food in a week. My poor Nugget!
