Big crab picking on little crab with missing limbs!
Mr. Crabs is bulling one of my new hermies, and she doesn't even have a big left claw! She's a third of the size of him. I put him in isolation, because that's just plain unfair. I was furious when I saw that he would do that to her.

There's going to be feeler fights and some bullying in the tanks. There's going to be an alpha crab and that's normal.

Yeah. It's usually Xena. I think she backed down from it, because she hasn't bothered any of the new ones, and the new ones are all female. I found out that Xena doesn't really like other females when I put Calypso in. Xena's molting now though, so it could have just been that. He hasn't don't it again yet, so that's good.

I tried that... but it didn't work. They're separated now though.
