I have always loved Halloween (moon) crabs, but my fiance was firmly against me getting any for years. I'd been thinking about a betta fish for my new office at work, since I have the room to myself and wanted to liven it up a bit. We were at the Oaks reptile show on Saturday, and he suggested I get a few moon crabs instead of a betta. I bought two, and have moved one into my office. The other guy will live at home so I can see how they both do.
The one in my office is named Clamps and the one at home is Roberto.
They are soo darned cute and so far have been devouring everything I feed them- lettuce, carrots, cheese, dried brine shrimp, snap peas, fruit.
They're such funny-looking characters and very active.
