∙ 15y agoIt depends on whether you mean a wild crab or a domestic one. Wild crabs spend much of their time roaming long distances across the beaches and inlands searching for food. Domestic crabs spend time climbing their tank decorations and digging in the substrate. They have a fairly simple set of needs and for the rest of the time, should be provided with items for distraction.

It is also known as a "fake crab" because of it's shell. True Crabs got there name because they have flat broad shells.
They change shells often so if you have more than one be careful you might just be picking up one of the other ones!
