AKA Halloween Crabs!
I've read through a few threads here, and it seems as though some other posters have Halloween crabs too! This makes me happy! We just got ours last week and are having trouble finding other owners. Finding books on them is not possible, and internet info is sketchy and confused. Other websites I've been to talk mostly about Armatum garcarrcims, or Rainbow crabs from Africa. From the pics I've seen, I'd say ours are Halloweens.
I'm most interested, I guess, in tank set up. We have a 15gal. with sand and a smallish log. We're going to change the water setup we have. The pet store said to just put water in the tank and build a sand shore. We have a submersible filter, but it just doesn't seem to be the best way to go about things. The sand is always wet and the boys seem unwilling to dig very deep. We're going to nix the filter and opt for a deep water dish instead. We're going to set up a heater, too.
We've had them less than a week so far, but man I wish the sales person would have given us some better advice!
PS...how do I post photos of my boys here? Granted, they are fuzzy, but they give an idea!
