Well, by those size rules, I have a super-micro then, because I have one who's the size of a dime or a penny, shell included!

I'd say he's just a micro. Micro's refer to anything from a speck to a quarter.

Yeah, I usually call him that. His legs are seriously like toothpicks. :)

I also didn't realize how small my other guys were...my crabs are TINY compared to the pictures of everyone else's. Itty bitty crabs. Only one is close to being a small-ish crab.

From what I hear, there shouldn't be a problem with micros/jumbos together. I'd say watch them at first to make sure the micros aren't getting beaten up, and then you should be okay.

8| Where have you gotten those sizes from?? 8|

I'm sorry, but the 'ratings' are quite off by the rest of the crabbing community. 8|

Micro is in a shell about the size of ones little finger nail.
Nickle, to almost quarter size is small.
Quarter size up to almost the golf ball is considered medium, etc. etc. 8|

Not spooked, just wondering where the bad info came from? (it is known that where is the internet is a great place to find information, one does need to be careful because there is also quite a bit of bad info too)
