    Hi!
    Went to Living Sea yesterday and found my new love.
    He's a shamefaced crab. I'm sooo excited! Anyone have one?
    ;D

    That's a really cool looking crab! Is it reef safe? How big does it get? Now I'm curious and want to find one lol!

    They eat snails (that's why he's going in the fuge)
    The one at the living sea was about the size of my fist (so not small and cute like the boxing crab, this one is pretty and durable lol). There really isn't a lot of info on them in regards to size and all that. LFS said they are fairly common neat additions to the tank.

    I don't know how common they are, I've never heard of them. But he does look cool. However, by putting him in the fuge, isn't that defeating the purpose of having him, to view him and see his characteristics?
