Just got a Halloween Moon Crab today! Love it! Came in a container like yours, which sucks as well, but the crab is the coolest thing ever. I found a bunch of information on the setup just in case:

10 gal aquarium is big enough for one

Put some wet sand on the bottom with a layer of sand/dirt mixture on top or moss. They like to dig and bury themselves.

Have an end where you can have a pool of water for him to climb in and out of. If you want you can keep some feeder fish in there which he’ll have fun hunting and eating. Just feed the fish reg. fish flakes..which he might want to eat too.

They like to climb on stuff, and hide in things.

Temp in the aquarium should be around 80 F during the day and 70 at night.

They are nocturnal.

They are territorial.

You can handle them and help them become more human friendly to eventually you can hand feed them.

You might know all of these things already, since you posted this awhile ago! Just thought I would post..just in case!

LOVE Halloween…so happy there is an animal that actually kind of looks like it belongs to it.

i know im a bit late to the party, lol, but i was doin research on my new Halloween crab, and this popped up. Mine was an impulse buy too, with the pet shop havin him in the wrong set up as well. Mine’s name is Jack-O, and i never thought id like a crab for a pet. yours looks great. hows it doin? BTW, dark orange underbelly usually means male, light orange means female.

Congrats on the Moon Crab! Those things are wicked-cool!

I do have a complaint or two, though:

No new X-E Articles since 11/21/07? The blogs are amusing, but I miss the old articles.

Did you ever finish the X-E Advent Calendar last year? It’s one of those things my family and I look forward to every year, and last year started off great and then…

You know how companies send toys to people to review? Maybe you could get some pet store to send you weird-ass animals to review and create a little menagerie in the process.

“Menagerie” means “crab salad”, right?
