That's awesome. I would recommend sand or a finer gravel for their 40 gallon.

Night time movement is normal. They are kinda nocturnal I think. Mine move around all the time though.

I can even hand feed mine.

i hand feed mine also..the smaller one will actually crawl into the palm of my hand and get her food its awsome..this weekend i will do a video of it..lately my buddies ignore my bass and watch my crayfish lol
 
well 2 out of 5 marbled crayfish are buried so idk yet if they are berried..but guess what..my regular red claw crayfish in the same tank as my largemouth bass 1 of them is berried..i been paying alot of attention to my marbled crayfish and forgot about watching my red claw crayfish..this is exciting for me and my daughter..she's got a ton of eggs on her..
 
If you don't have a male for the red claw, the eggs won't get fertilized and they won't hatch.

Marmokrebs are the ONLY crayfish that don't need a male to hatch babies.
 
That's good then :)
