    Stowaway Crab

    This little guy was in a bag of hermits I ordered. He's about 1-2cm across. His front claws are pretty long comparatively and very symetrical. Maybe a porcelain crab? Does not look like the mithrax that came in a separate bag.

    Tiny pink crab

    Crab Identification, Please

    This little guy has been eluding my camera for quite a while now, but I finally got a picture of him. He was a hitchhiker on a Petco rock and he’s super chill. He hides most of the time and only comes out when food is close to him.

    Crab ID

    This carb has made a hole in the sand under all my rocks I would never be able to get him. Should I leave him in or get him out. Is he safe to leave in?
