SRC Member Maxstar81 Posted November 28, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 28, 2005 F. Graosidae, Metopograpsus My 1st obsession. It has purple claws. It keeps itself just above water levels. It climbs mangrove trees too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Maxstar81 Posted November 28, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 28, 2005 The prettiest crab so far & it has a very interesting name: Moon Crab. This fella swims and buries itself under the sand bed. This baby moon crab is sadly missing an eye stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunei Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi BroMaxstar81! Weeks back, i caught 2 crabs at the beach as well. I wasnt so sure what species it was. Now that i see from your thread, it's the moon crab. lol. I kept 2 in my QT and one has died since. It's such a funny crab isnt it. It seems to have 2 sets of flippers (For swimming) 1 in the front and 1 at the back. Beach combing is indeed a fun thing to do. Never know what creature we encounter. Nice thread!! More picssssss..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Maxstar81 Posted November 28, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 28, 2005 Brunei, wa, U keeping them in tank !? They will eat ur fish if they get the chance. Anyway, they're swimmers & its fun to see them swim sideways. Hope U have better luck with the last of the 2 moonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
