Halloween or Moon Crabs

Does anyone have experience  with these? I bought two today. I have read accounts before this. They easy to deal with. I was wondering will they eat other fruit from tropical ie.:coconut papiya, and mango. I have strawberries and bananas in the house.

I think they need water dishes with both seawater and freshwater.

They do need access to both salt wand freshwater and I would say 20 gallon long would be a minimum enclosure size for one. Give them lots of sunstrate, I think a mix of sand and cocofiber would be best. They really enjoy digging from what i’ve seen.

I don't think they need saltwater. It's not bad, it's just more likely to cause problems if they keep tipping it over into the substrate. They eat apples and rotten leaves too.
