gorella crabs maiting

[magrath]

My two gorilla crabs I had come with my package I put in my fuge and they have mated and I have a ton of small things swimming around. I could tell one was carrying a ton of eggs. It is actually pretty neat I will try to take pics this weekend.

hey magrath!

just an fyi - the crab referred to as "gorilla" is really from the family xanthid. Xanthid crabs characteristically have oversized claws with black-tips. Not all have the tips but most do. Dr. Ron talks about them best in this article:
