I have an aquarium flower crab! Err... What now?

[Paul E. Morphius]

Hello all!

I have kept a flower crab (Sesarmops intermedium) for more than two weeks now. Problem is, I don't know exactly how to take care of it.

I have been keeping it the same way you keep red clawed crabs in terms of diet and water salinity. It staying this alive for this long doesn't quite convince me it is in a proper environment because of the fact that mangrove crabs die after spending 6 months in a freshwater tank!

Anyone who has any experience with flower crabs, kindly please share your wisdom. =P

What have you been doing, whatever you have been doing its working. As long as its active and eating then i wouldnt worry. But i would do a bit of research on them

Thanks, Jason. I just hope I can find out more about them as soon as I need to. Would be a shame if it wouldn't live a full life of 3-4 years.
