Hello,
The food that I had on my crab's food dish started to mould. I picked it up and cleaned it with tissue for now as I'm not sure what I should use for soap (or if I should use it at all).
What is the proper cleaning methods for food/water dishes?

No soap, just pour some hot water to rinse it out for a few seconds and then dry with a tissue or cloth.

Re: Cleaning Food Dish
I always clean out my food dish with warm water and dry with a paper towel. Seems to be working well so far.
