Crab escape

[Pleco1415]

My fiddler crab went for a stroll last night and this morning I found him on the bathroom floor. I put him back in the tank as he was alive still but I would like to know why they do this and how I can prevent it. Thanks

Why do any other creatures escape? Who knows..

A tight fitting lid will be good. Glass tops generally have a plastic backing you can cut out exactly to all your hoses and pipes.

Good idea I forgot glass tops existed, I've been using the Marineland LED hood for the longest time.

Could always make one out of a screen. That's one wild story though haha

Does he have access to air in the tank? Fiddler crabs need air to survive and will escape to get it if need be.
