Pretty cool creatures and surprisingly easy to handle.

What an awesome little crab! How hard are they to keep?

Very easy. They eat anything.

Set them up like you would a hermit crab but make sure they have access to fresh clean water at all times otherwise their lungs dry out and they die.

That is awsome!! Where did you get him? Could you breed them or are they like hermit crabs and need the ocean to breed?

Good Luck with em!

I love their spooky Halloween colors; neato!
My friend had one at her store awhile back; I used to love feeding it guppies. It kinda held one in its claw for awhile and sometimes just ripped them apart, not even eating. How cute :)

Those guys are incredible ausome
I had three come in the last chop I worked at. Man they have some strong claws...
Great shots
