This was a BIG crab. Points were bent and not real long. But he was heavy and good sized body. Claw span was over 19"

They can if they avoid getting caught and live long enough.  ;D

If I didn't know better I'd swear you raise them in a tank then take them out for night pics.

Haha....well as you know the big guy I caught the other night is living comfortably now in my shop!  I'll be curious to see how long he lives before I send him to TAT!

Nice tank. How many gallons? I have a little 20 gallon brakish tank. Getting ready to upgrade to a 55. I had a crab in there for a while. They don't live long. At least the one's I had. One lived for a couple months. They make a mess of the tank. I had to replace a filter because it kicked sand into it.
I wish i was a crab.

Thanks Its a breeder 40 (extra deep)  So far he's OK but forget arranging anything. He's picked up logs , rocks and ripped out the bubbler hose/   He is eating good though. Likes clam, and fish for sure. I dropped a few sunnies in and well lets say one of the dumber ones became lunch. Hes even had a visit from the president of his fan club..the Williecrab!

As long as he's eating, he ok. Make sure you have lots of filtration.

Yep....the big guys are messy for sure.  I am doing partial water changes every few days as well being I have close access to the area where he was caught.

Search "aquarium" There's a ton of stuff on the forum.  If you get a little crab, it will (can) live about 3 to 4 years in a fish tank.  At the 3 year mark, fry'em up. :)

Let's save it here for the biggest photos in the 2015 contest. ;)

South Jersey

8-1/2" Point to Point  

When I first saw this crab, I ignored it. Visibility was poor. I thought it was a rock and paddled away. It looked to big to be a crab. Wanting to make sure I went back and scapped up my personal best! A little over 8.5".

Last pic shows him on the left. Right crab is "Sig" for comparison.
