First up is Aloha. He is a tiny straw and has already successfully molted here with me. He is bright, gorgeous and has the color banding typical of the smaller guys of his species.

Next is Hula. Unfortunately, he dropped a leg within hours of arriving at my home but he was also very active and hungry in the beginning. I only have one picture of him since he's been a moss pit recluse for the past couple weeks. I'm leaving him alone in hopes that he'll molt and become more comfortable in the colony.
lacking in limbs, not in spirit
Last is Ipo. He is large and astonishingly beautiful. As expected, Ipo has asserted himself as alpha of the crabitat but he's doing a great job now after a couple rough days in the beginning. His weakness (and obsession) is coconut. Luckily, I always put a couple chunks in at once so he can monopolize a piece without depriving everyone else.

I love the pictures! They are all so unique, and you take such good pictures showing that. I am sure they are all loving their life in the crabitat!
What a darling little crab! We had fiddler crabs before. They were neat to watch.
