Supercrab's Crabalot

An adoption from my neighbor. This big purple pincher was given to me after my neighbor saw my tank. He was in a very small plastic critter keeper (maybe 3 gallons) with two other crabs for about a year with no salt water and no water dish to submerge in. Actually I do not think he got much water at all seeing that the dish was bone dry when she brought them over. Fed only on commercial food too. I have one of the other two crabs, unfortunately one died before I got them. This big guy seems quite hardy and has changed shells twice. I have ordered some new shells for him as he is bigger than the shell he is in. He was in a heavy black and white murex shell when I got him and immediately changed to a turbo when I put them in with him. The other crab has also changed shells but is only medium in size. I am happy with the these crabs. The big guy has been up and down the tank and does not seem to be troubling any other crabs...knock on wood. I do not know the sexs of them yet so I am just guessing. Now I am just waiting for the temp and humidity gauge to fall off under his weight :-)
