I've seen quiet a few pic of these and they are pretty cool looking. Can these be kept in a 20g?? I checked the sales part of this site and it doesn't say, does say however they are rarely available to the hobbyist. Input anyone?

I put my boxer crab in my 10 gal nano tank, so I would think a 20 gallon would be suitable. They stay quite small.
I'm not sure how long I've had him 3 months now. He does stay hidden alot.
he molted once at least, I found his whole exo-skeleton.... thought it was him dead!
But spotted him again a couple of weeks later..... alive and well! :cheer:
Still waves those pom poms around . I tend to spot him in the evening when I turn the bright lights off and only the acenitc (sp?) lights are on.... he has his own little cave he has claimed.
Here's a pic when I first got him.

What do you spot feed yours?
Any yes, a 20 is fine for them.

I have a clown goby and a pajama cardinal in the tank , also. so every few days I feed them mysis shrimp, brine shrimp and cyclopleze....
Occassionally I feed them some flake food and little pieces of crab meat,etc when I feed the bigger fish in the 55 gallon tank,
so I have to assume the crab fills up on these also......
