some pics of my cool crabs
 

what kind of crabs or those?


Brad

umm i'm not even sure what kind, thought they were cool so i bought four of them about a month ago.

they are Ciliopagurus strigatus crabs.

these appear to be scarlett hermet crabs. They are great detrivours. I would like to state however, that no matter how "cool" and organism looks in the store, please! please!!! please!!!!, research and learn before buying! Why buy a critter that you know nothing about, other than it looks cool!

Ciliopagurus strigatus, not scarlett :)

and i've had them a month anad they are fine, the LFS didn't even know their real name.

those are not scarlets.

I know, they are Ciliopagurus strigatus, for the third time LOL :razz:

I stand corrected on species, but not principal! Know before you buy!
I'm glad they are doing well and hope you enjoy them for a long time to come. They do look cool, and I hope they continue to be so.

:)

hard to go wrong with crabs, very hardy...

Where did you get those?

I believe the common name for those is Halloween Hermit Crabs.

Big al's :smile:

.. What the crap...

I have one and have been looking for more FOREVER!

lol

when i bought these guys they had about 100 of them, they might have a few left......

I had one of those years ago, no more harmful than a scarlet - probably a little better. Sure liked it :mrgreen: I should go see if they have more.
