Re: Air Plant
What type of air plant? Air plant is a general term to describe a whole bunch of different plants that include everything from mistletoe to orchids and Spanish moss (which isn't safe).
Oh, and just a thing to keep in mind - your crabs will eat whatever you have in the tank, so even if the plant you want to put in is safe, do you want it to get torn to shreds?

Re: Air Plant
I was thinking of a few different types. Like Anwyl Bromeliads, mitlaensis, tricolor tillandsia, and Brachycaulos.
I saw it on eBay and read that these plants are not harmful to animals.

Re: Air Plant
It would highly depend on the air plant as Emma has mentioned. But they do absorb formaldehyde, xylene, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air in homes or offices.
