anyways he likes to bury himself in the sand, like basically completely, and he'll sit there for a while, the temp is 76.7 atm, i was just curious if anyone else has had a crab that does this,a nd if any expert could shed some light into why he might be doing that. thanks!

how could he be a strawberry when he's not even the slightest bit red?.. from my reading on wikipedia it appears nothing like that type of crab... ah well.. /sigh
