I've been casually reading through this thread for a couple weeks. I like crabs, good crab thread. I cant get a crab pet because I already have frogs and lizards and cats and it's too many, but if I didn't have those other pets I would now probably get a crab friend or two. Last week I was in minneapolis with my wife for a ceramics conference and we went to a lot of art galleries to look at pottery and I kept noticing crabs on a few. I'm sorry I couldn't take pictures so just imagine mugs and vases and whatnot with crabs depicted on them.

It's my mom's birthday, and she wanted a bunch of family photos I've taken over the last few years so I was going through thousands of photos this weekend and I came across some crab photos. These are all taken along the pacific coast, mostly up near mendocino/ft. brag or possibly somewhere between there and maybe bodega bay.  I don't recall but this crab may not have been alive  There is an eel in these two photos but don't let it distract you from the crab   oh hey there  It's fun to let a crab scrabble around in your hand (did you notice there's a crab in the word scrabble because I did)    My lovely wife is the hand model and yes that is a pile of other crap she's taking home with her in her other hand but we do not abduct the live crabs When you're done pestering the crab put it back tho   Don't worry this shoe is for size comparisons only, there is no crab stomping  see, it's fine   I also have two crab videos to upload which I will post maybe tomorrow. e. nah I lied I uploaded them now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltWsvpHFrqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCyH0MGagX0 Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Apr 22, 2019 |

horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders than they are to crabs really we should call them horseshoe spiders or maybe just horseshoe... things

SniperWoreConverse posted:Strongly considering buying like 30 crabs from the internet for 30 bucks I'm no expert but I feel like your 30 gallon tank is way too small for even 30 hermits. Given you already have a saltwater tank setup with stuff in it, I'd suggest getting maybe three or four crabs and seeing how that goes. Also, this caresheet says they'll happily attack and kill other animals to take their shells so definitely you need to provide lots of empty shells. Also they should primarily be eating algae and seaweed, you can supplement with shrimp or whatever.

ohhh, yeah, I watched a bunch of that guy's videos like 8 months ago or something I like his weird accent also I wish he didn't stick quite so resolutely to never opening his little life jars for a year or more, I bet like one or two partial water changes in that time might have saved the crabp.

Mak0rz posted:I don't think vision has much to do with it. Dogs and other sighted animals can clearly see themselves just fine in a mirror, but the mirror test is inherently flawed because it's designed with a fairly characteristic "think/act like a human" win condition. The mirror test is about whether an animal recognizes that that other doggie in the weird glass is them, or just some other doggie. For decades it was thought to represent the ability of a "higher intelligence" animal to understand their own self as a distinct entity, or some such nonsense. Notably, human babies do not pass the mirror test until they reach a certain age, so this was also used along with lots of other evidence to form various theories about human mental development. Latterly, science increasingly accepts that... well, the nature of consciousness is just way more complicated than that and the mirror test, while still very interesting, is completely inconclusive and often highly misleading.

It's grossly cruel to intentionally maim a live animal even if it can grow back the limb you lopped off, imo probably depends on the widespread and now thoroughly debunked myth that "lower animals"/fish/crustaceans etc. can't feel pain or are too stupid to suffer or whatever

Maybe safely drain and properly dispose of the gas, oil, fluids etc. Crebs do not want it. Leave the lug nuts for the very small crabs

Floodixor posted:I'm sure there's a more "professional resource" on this but I feel like this thread has a true moral understanding of the noble crab so I will ask here Yup we've sunk all kinds of stuff to "create seafloor habitat" (get rid of junk) and the crebs like it just fine. Just google "artificial reef" and you'll find all kinds of sources. I think they usually sink old ships but basically anything will work. In addition to removing fluids you probably should remove all the plastic, because the ocean has enough garbage plastic in it, and maybe foam stuff like seat cushions, maybe the wiring too. Basically strip the car down to just the frame, chassis, suspension, maybe the glass, maybe leave the transmission and engine if they're super clean but probably best to pull those too.

christmas boots posted:Is there an actual reason for doing that, or what? Also there's been a totally unscientific and unsubstantiated belief everywhere forever that somehow crustaceans (and for that matter, fish!) don't feel pain. It's bullshit, and more recent studies have proved it's bullshit. And, you can absolutely safely kill crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans before cooking them. There are numerous guides online.
