Hi to all, I want to share my experience with this crab.
I got a couple in my small tank (about 60L), after some time I discovered one having eggs

then the question was to discover if egss were fertilized.... just a question of waiting some days ...
after about ten days the orange colour of the eggs changed....

well, just few days more and yesterday ...

to the best of my knowledge, no reproduction in captivity was succesfull in driving to adult crabs

This tank is not dedicated to reproduction, I think no larva will survive, however I am dosing life phytoplankton and zooplankton

So far I can't say anything about larvae, they have two weaks of plankton-feed stage...

I wonder if you could catch and raise them in a similar fashion to peppermint shrimp.
