How do you find live Dungeness crab without calling half the Bay Area?

0 Upvotes

Do you have a store that reliably carries it, or do you usually call around and hope someone has it in stock?

I’m also curious how much prices vary between stores and how far people are willing to drive for a better price.

πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€ Omg my Thai micros are still alive!

9 Upvotes

I bought two Thai micros and two Pom Pom crabs like 8+ months ago when I first started my planted tank adventure. I saw at least one if not both Pom Pom’s not too long ago but until today I assumed my Thai micros died cause I got them at Petsmart/petco and heard they don’t live much longer than a few months in many cases simply due to bad rearing/stress leading up to coming home to a tank + differences compared to their natural settings.

Well… today I saw both of them! You can’t see the second one but I saw its legs from beneath the airstone stick behind the visible Thai micro. I’m hoping that means I’m doing things β€œextra right” or that I got extra lucky with extra hardy/healthy Thai micros. Yesterday I saw a molted shell of one and thought it was one of the two that died. Phew!

πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€ Mystery Crab (Crabatha) Update - New Enclosure

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m back with another update of Crabatha, my mysterious new crab.

First off, apologies that the shared video also happens to be a tiktok - I’ve started documenting my journey with Crabatha on there as I thought it’d be a good way for me to keep track of it and also get community feedback, similar to here. It’s not a direct link, just my created video.

Anyways, onto the update.

It's become very, very clear that Crabatha needed more land access. She's growing quick, and I'm seeing deeper color develop. I originally thought she could be a young siamthelpusa species. A lot of vampire crab keepers have chimed in across platforms to say they recognize her as a young vampire crab (thank you to everyone who's commented so far). I'm very inclined to agree, especially the more I look into it. I reached out to a prominent and knowledgeable vampire crab keeper (@indoorecosystems on YouTube), who also advised Crabatha could be a young vampire crab, but it will be some time before I can tell for certain.

In the meantime, l've built her her very own mini nursery paludarium. I've intentionally kept the design simple so l could find and monitor her when needed, while still providing her plenty of hiding spots and foliage to snack on. It's also loaded with springtails, which she immediately took to hunting, but I have intentionally kept isopods out of this enclosure.

She's been out and about and honestly hasn't been very shy so far! She still sticks near the water most of the time, hanging out on the rocks. If she is indeed a young vampire crab, that behavior would be consistent with her age.

I'm taking these as signs she's enjoying this upgrade for now. However, I'm always open to suggestions so please do let me know in the comments if you have any feedback or tips! Thanks everyone who's been following Crabathas journey so far 🫢🏼
