Ok... Why haven't I talked about my crabs yet?
Holley: The largest in the tank, the second least active. She has a very pretty shell. (And it's not painted! :D Just brown with swirls of yellowish-tan and bits of green and black) Holley likes peanut butter but I would know more about her if she were more active. But crabs are nocturnal...
Sebastian: In contrast to Holley, he is the smallest in the tank and the leactive. He too likes peanut butter and has a cool shell (greenish tan with black spot/stripes here and there). Sebastian often hides in the corner of the tank by the heater (guess he just wants extra warmth, my tank is almost always in the correct temp for crabs) and is very active at night.
Pelly: THE most active in the tank. And a peanut butter lover. Pelly comes out not just at night but if you pick her up she almost always comes out to say hi. Pelly enjoys baths, especially when I make a big bowl of salt water every now and then and dunk them all for a few seconds and let them dry off by running around a shoebox lined with paper towels.
Finn: A crab with a giraffe-print shell (not painted either, just white with orange spots) and a big claw. He is the second most active in the tank. And he also enjoys peanut butter!
Note: Don't buy painted shells. They are itchy, smell bad, and chip, which the crab will then eat the chipped-off flakes and die. Get natural shells and always microwave them for 5 minutes before using to kill germs.
