Good to know and pics please.
My Red claw crabs (Perisesarma bidens)

I’m not going to take a pic of my emerald crab (Mithraculus sculptus) yet as I think she’s in pre-molt so I don’t want to disturb her. I’ll take some pics for you soon.

[emoji24] [emoji24] The pics are not showing. I am going to have to wait awhile. Sometimes they will appear when someone else has responded on your post.

They look so awesome. What do you feed them?
They are opportunistic scavengers, they will eat bits of plants to decaying animals in the wild. To replicate this for them, I feed cucumber, small pieces of lettuce and fruit, blood worms, live feeder shrimp, brine shrimp, pieces of algae, regular fish flakes and sometimes a live cricket for the larger ones.

Hmmm interesting. I would love to see more pictures every now and then.

Yep, feeding them is not for the faint hearted, I will definitely take some more pics for you every now and then. My emerald crab has a slightly different diet that consists mainly of algae and plant matter.
