This is cool. What game is it from?

Also, if any poster who cares for their own hermit crabs/other crabs could point me in the direction of a basic care guide that would be awesome. Depending on what they require I might get into crabbin.

stellaris. They came out with a new huge update that makes it way better than the old version.

When I had crabs I had aquatic ones. The main things were:
1) make sure you have a good, well established tank. Wild swings in hosed up parameters will make them sick. You won't realize they're sick till their dead, unless they become noticeably lethargic or something
2) crabs = bugs. Never let anything near the tank that is potentially bad for bugs. Don't smoke a cig and then put your hand in the tank like some kind of degenerate. Nicotine is bad for bugs and bad for crabs.
3) don't let copper in the tank. Crabs are easily poisoned by dissolved copper. Don't go spraying windex all over the goddamn place.
4) crabs like to have real swanky digs. Make sure to have some good sand for them to pinch. They like to pinch live plants, dirt, and poop as well. I always made sure to have a lot of good rocks and poo poo for them to climb on.
5) other animals are good, but not too good. My pom poms liked to square off and try to fight fish like a boxer. Too many crabs or other animals will make them want to fight.
6) crabs eat basically whatever(?) and enjoyed eating whatever left over fish food sunk to the bottom. Anything meaty they attacked. They also liked just digging in sand and poo poo like that.

I think I want to start a new tank just for crabs. Just get some couple corals and crabs only.

This isn’t meant to discourage you, but more of a heads up that it’s waaay more than what the buffoons at most major pet retailers will inform you of.

This is true for like 99% of all pets and extra true for crabs, unless you find a really good pet store that's not staffed by highschool kids who don't give a gently caress and will quit in a week anyway.

Yeah I wanted to get crabs but sadly I don't think they'd make it in the cichlid tank and would murder my shirmp in the small one. Maybe another tank is the solution :thunk:

Walking sideways would definitely be a law. Are crabs known for working together? Cooperation maybe.

Also, Look out

ZOMBIE CRABS

There's a type of crab that gathers together when it's time to molt, because it takes a long time for the new shells to support the crab's weight and the unmolted crabs can give a small bit of protection to the freshly molted ones.

I wish! No I just scavenge nice crab pictures from around the internet to post here, much like a humble crab might scavenge on the beach for delicious spaghetti.

Saint Francis Xavier, a missionary who spent a lot of time on ships, once accidentally dropped his crucifix into the sea. Miraculously, a crab brought it back to him, all “HELLO I AM CRAB U DROPT UR CROSS.” You’ve got to love a helpful crustacean.

Epicurius posted:

Crusader Crabs.

No, actually, it's the legend of the Crucifix Crab, which like its name implies, has what looks to be a little red cross on it. Here's a picture.



The legend is that, when he was in indonesia, Francis Xavier dropped his crucifix into the ocean. This crab showed up and gave it back to him, and in exchange, he blessed it and a cross appeared on it.

They're supposed to be good eating.

Apparently the holy crab is intensively researched for aquaculture. The look like they might be too huge for the home enthusiast though.

Well *I* only read the New Yorker and eat Fancy Feast.
I was worried for a moment today that crabs didn’t own, but then I saw that one of mine were disposing of a cricket.

This particular cricket was rescued from the clutches of my cat, with no more than three legs to her name now (the cricket) after surviving her mistaken identity as a cat toy. I dubbed her Gimperella and she happily coexisted with the crabs, eating out of their food dish and what not. She grew up and mated, laid eggs, then promptly died a noble death by drowning in the salt water dish. She is already survived by her newborn babies running around, but I placed her carcass in front of my crab, Smee, who diligently started wolfing down the cricket in a dignified matter.

This anecdote has no real direction or sense, as you can tell, but I just think it’s cool that the crabs clean up their own tank.

Crabs still own.
