  • Cool that the older hard shells form a protective cover, mound to protect the younger soft shells... Brilliant self-defense mechanism! "A living Citadel" of survival in the wild. TY @BBC

    • Pushing the young crabs to dive down appears to increase survival. For some reason, in nature, the harder and stronger crabs try to stand on top of the younger crabs. This seems to me to be a suicidal act that is completely illogical. In the long run, however, the species of crabs that burrow under young crabs may have reduced their numbers.

    • Oh sure, when the older male crabs climb ontop of the younger female crabs to "protect" them its cool, but when I do it to young girls its illegal >:(

    • @@ghostlyblue5735 I had one as a pet. Her name was Karkinos I had her since she was a speck it was from a seaweed experiment I had her 2 years before she died I regret not releaseing her any crabs I usually had as soon as I could see them I took them back to the ocean. It REALLY hurt my heart cause she’d make these kinda idk purring noises or more like at first it sounded like something was cranking idk how to describe it. I think she wanted her own kind but she’d molt right out in the open . If I had seen THIS before I would of contacted a local diving place to take her back for me cause he literally video taped a molting spot. I think maybe she’d been ok. Idk they can live like 20 years so yea I wish I let her go. I mean her tank was cycled it was big I planned on getting bigger it was just hers and a stone crab. I would suggest just watching stuff like this. It’s been over a year and it still hearts my heart when I see molts or dead spider crabs at the beach. I still have her molts. I thought I’d have her forever. But I mean high site she should been in the ocean finding a mate.
