Other chelicerates (namely spiders and horseshoe crabs) have been promoted to honorary crabs, but those are all arachnids which sea spiders are not.

In fact, it's kind of up in the air whether they're even chelicerates.

I vote: not crab

Unrelated but this thread really makes me want to set up an invert tank full of creb

Well if you have any tips on this, let me know. My forays in the past mostly did not go great. Fiddler crabs did best.

We had a Dungeness crab in our marine tank at work and she was an absolute terror. I loved her but I was relieved when she died.

Little shore crabs or something would be much more manageable.

I understand that it is good to have goals but before long just any creature who wants to be a Crab will be discussed here (and all of God's creatures want to be a Crab except dogs which are already perfect and even then there are HEAPS of dogs dressed as crabs online, for instance I am one)

Tbh I've never done it before. We don't keep live inverts at work so it'd be a wholly new experience for me.

If I do it I'll catalogue all of the many ways I gently caress up so you can learn from my mistakes though.

I’d throw mine in but it was so long ago it’s just a blurry disaster. I did enjoy the few that made it though, watermelon fiddlers are cool as heck.

When's the last time any one of ya'll saw a creb in real life

I saw one at an aquarium but that was a tragic amount of time ago, I feel my creb reserves getting low, gotta see a Crab in the wild STAT as I fail to see how it would not help me

Hopefully u were with a loved one when you saw creb and have fond memories of that time together

We have a marine tank at work with some little crabs.

Also a terrarium of three hermit crabs.

So basically I see crabs daily

I keep their shells in my garden. Last season I only caught like 50 because it was for only one month. But at any time I can go down to the dock and fish one up to greet and set on its way.
