Found these beauties on the rocks on the beach in St. Lucia 💚

heavy crab posts a lot of videos of "pet crab eating x"

She really do be holding up thecworld….get otta here, new crab in town soon.

It seems to run forwards rather than to the sides, and I watched it shimmy a little and hide under the sand

Hey, guys, I made a design-your-own crystal hermit crab terrarium sticker sheet! You can use the different decorations to make your own tank design, adopt one (or more) of the 4 crabs, and enjoy your new little friend! ✨Shop Link✨

This took a long time to design, and I am so proud of it and really like how it turned out. I waited until I got an in-person version to submit it here. Go check it out if you get the chance!

Dunno if this has been reposted here but thought it was really cute

I got a set of 4 small indoor CCTV cameras from Amazon. I was finding the cameras I had in Cecil's tank to be particularly clear, so I decided to give these ones a go. So far, I'm impressed, plus you don't need to subscribe to cloud for the storage. I've included pics so you can have a look and see what you think.

I like the tank cameras because I can watch her and record her, while at the same time, I'm respecting her personal space. I think it was £42 for four little cameras, which imo, is a great price!

Found this in the holdfast of a kelp raft washed up on a beach in socal

I've got a mud crab, she's been relatively fine, got her recently and she had no claws when I got her, and in those claw openings, I see little beads of idk. Alien egg things. Is this a parasite? Or just their biology.. it is fairly concerning to see

what would happen if you slapped someone across the face with a crab in your hand

Do you have a store that reliably carries it, or do you usually call around and hope someone has it in stock?

I’m also curious how much prices vary between stores and how far people are willing to drive for a better price.
