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

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.

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.  |

Salt Hay
8/15/15
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.
