The crab is active and interesting to watch. It picks up small pieces of coral and attaches them to its body. Very unique and adds a fun element to the tank.

It’s a charming addition to the aquarium. The crab uses small decorations to hide, which is both entertaining and natural.

Observed it attaching a piece of sponge to its shell. Looks like it’s blending in with the environment. A great choice for a tropical setup.
