Crab closeups post yours

[Fish'InMN]

That was an emerald crab, Mithrax sculptus. Most will eat nori if offered; his first taste was from some scraps we gave to our starry blenny. After that we started feeding him nori once a week as he had cleaned the tank of bubble algae, but it wasn't enough and he starved to death (by my guess).

Lighting is 4x54W T5: 2x ATI Blue+, 1x UVL AquaSun, 1x UVL Super Actinic. I adjusted the color in PS, what you see is the actual color of our tank. The camera is a Panasonic DMC-LZ1 believe it or not, just set on 'macro' mode with low iso and a nice steady tripod.

Not the best. I only have a crappy point and shoot.

Nice thread! And one of my favorite subjects in my tank...my crabs!

This one needed some color correction, but I was lazy...my dearly missed white claw hermit saying "What do you want?".

An odd little guy I got from a fellow FMAS member...

This guy's shell was stuck in a hole in a rock, so his body was just hanging...I had to get in there an put him upright after taking the photo:

Hermit handstand!

And last, but never least, my white clawed, blue eyed boy!

That's all the crabs I've had recently...had an emerald that started chewing on my mushrooms and a sally lightfoot that disappeared, so th, th, that's all folks! Enjoy!

Show us your crabs!
