Crabss, crabs, and more crabs


What are regular blue-leeged crabs doing when they all swarm another crab? I just notice one shelles crab get thrown and almost ait. But i hit the glass and scared all the fish away that where attacking. Then hannded it another shell. It seems to be fine now. It was intrestign to watch em. All but 2 of my crabs where in this bigg pile of crabs swarmin.

Can you keep more the one emrald crab in a tank without them fighting?

Maybe looking for a new home, if there aren't enough empty shells they will vacate other tenants.

Probably house hunting. Yes, you can keep more than one emerald crab without them fighting each other.

Well their are plenty of Astra snail shells, but looking for a home is entirely probable since all the ones that where swarming all had far different type of shell the Astra snail. Guess the landlord's served the eviction notice with force lol.
