Hello everyone, I have been travelling the web searching for people that can show me their current/prior red claw crab (Sesarma bidens) setups. I am a regular on some of the fish sites, but unless you are in the "clique" you tend not to get any information. The last site I asked the only answer I got was "I put a big rock in it that he could climb on." Seeing that they are burrowers this seems like the bare basic they require. So I thought I would ask here since in my epic amount of googling I saw some other crab related posts here.
First off yes they are red claws (Sesarma bidens), I have a male and a female, I do know they are best with a brackish 1.005 salinity, and generally what makes them happy. BUT trying to find a setup that is both pleasing for them, and pleasing to look at isn't easy to find. Mostly I have been finding pictures of some sand, some water, and hermit crab huts. Or what I can tell is more fit for another species of crab. I have never been one to give my pets the bare basics and I don't think the crabs deserve that either. So they are getting a better setup. I was hoping that someone here would have pictures of their setups, and I can get some ideas from them. Also what substrate did you use?
