Hi. Im my small maybe 7 gallon bowfront tank i have 2 emerald crabs, one is bigger than the other, but ne way the smaller of the 2 keeps flipping over onto its back and just kinda stays there. When i flip it back the right way it very quickly shoves abunch of rocks under itself. Can they flip back over by themselves, should i let it stay on its back instead of flipping it back over. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with it? Thanks:confused:

Welcome to the site!
I have no idea, a guess would possibly it is guarding eggs...?
 
That's interesting. I've never seen mine do that. I'm pretty sure they can right themselves though. Keep an eye on them just in case though.
