Maybe those are the baby versions of the rainbow crabs that are sold in the same rack at Seaview?

[Danialavr]

[Danialavr]

True but they live on both land and water :3
kept in my planted tank before and they died from being totally submerged.

Yes, micro crabs are really cute and tiny! But i'd heard they LOVE burrowing in the sandy substrate, and often go 'missing' in the process...

I'd tried sourcing for micro crabs ever since i'd seen them at Y618 a couple of years back...but too bad they aren't that common. Contacted a thai dealer, but he's unwilling to import them, citing regulation issues.

[seudzar]

So sad... Wonder when the Thai crab would come again

[limz_777]

i remember the micro crab have very short lifespan , less then a year ?

[blu3her0]

Yeah, I think they don't live long...
