Well, first off hello everybody! Cool forum you got here :) I picked up this fresh water crab from a local shop that carries the more strange animals. I was told he was a typical Moon Crab... However after doing some looking around he doesn't seem to look like any of the moon crabs I have come across. He is much larger, and lacks their colors almost completely. He has been doing very well for the two months or so I have had him, and has already successfully molted once. Now I have had pet crayfish and fiddler crabs in the past, but I have never had any nearly as active as this little bugger! Almost all day and most of the night he is running about climbing things, digging, moving objects around in his tank until around 3am at which point he exits the water and will sit there without going back in for a few hours and starts his 'usual' cycle over again. I have also noticed he has a quite healthy appetite... In the last three days he has eaten two entire gold fish. Todays he finished from catch to gone in <10 minutes... Impressive. Anyways, if anybody knows what he really is give me a shout!! Thanks in advance,
-Dustin

It looks like a Caribbean semi aquatic species?
