I found him on the beach and he's missing a claw, any thoughts on what species is this and how I could take care of it

Hello! I was hanging out with this crab in the South River in South River, New Jersey today. The water is pretty gross, I'm like b*tch you live here? 🥲

What kind of crab did I find?

🦀 Thanks for helping! 🙏

40 gallon breeder with 6”-8” of sand/cocofiber, a large water section for freshwater, I’ll get a solid glass lid, and can keep the humidity high. I’ll put a ultratherm heat mat on the back above the substrate to keep it warm. Let me know what your suggestion needs for heat/humidity! (I keep hermit crabs so I’m well versed in the crab world :)

My dog ​​barked in complaint at night, and when I approached, he was fighting a baby crab. My dog ​​was so afraid of it that I named the crab David, and my dog ​​was Goliath. Just like in the biblical story, the crab won, but with a little help from me, I showed him the way to the light (the sea).

This is also a lesson from nature.

Hey fellow Crab lovers 🦀

I appreciate this is a little ODD compared to the usual posts here but given it's still on theme, I hope it will be okay!

We (Odd Dreams Digital) have just released a video game about Crabs & Carcinization called Everything is Crab and we're hoping to spread the word of Crab to fellow enthusiasts!

It's a 2D PixelArt based Animal Evolution Roguelite game where you start off as a little blob each run and evolve into many weird and wonderful creatures while the world around you becomes more crab-like (and yes you can fully become a crab yourself if you choose! 🦀) The game has a deeply layered gameplay around 125+ different types of real world Evolution (some crab, some not).

I'm posting here today as a dev of the game because we just released the game yesterday and would like to share the news of that with people who may have an overlapping interest!

If you're a gamer who loved Spore and/or modern Roguelites, then this might just be your cup of tea!

It's currently available on:

• Steam
• Epic Games Store

Thanks for your time and keep Crabbing on!

P.S. The attached pictures are just some examples of what kind of creature you can create (there's well over a million different combinations you can visually become with a ton of different gameplay playstyles you can lean into)

They are a native species, and the biggest land hermit in the world.

They were going for about RM150/kg ($17/lbs)

Hi! I recently purchased a pair of these crabs from a local aquatic pet store in Seoul, Korea.

The shop owner said these are Malili crabs, but I couldn’t find anything useful on Google. I’m suspecting the storekeeper doesn’t actually know what it is.

Could you help me ID these guys?

They seem to be fully aquatic, their carapaces are abt 4-5cms long, and are not shy but seem pretty chill.

Thanks in advance!
