Batik Crab (Metasesarma obesum)

Metasesarma obesum vampire crab is a small crab that is a good choice for small breeding boxes. White porcelain dolls are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. Similar to hermit crabs, they live on land, hiding under leaves, wood, or burrowing in the sand. The color and pattern of the white porcelain doll Xiangshou crab varies greatly. I found some very bright, monochromatic, whitish animals with little pattern on the carapace, but also some that showed some pink with lots of spots. Features: reared in water and land environment, can be raised in groups (need to avoid enough)

3. The sub-adults are very active although they are lighter in color. Generally, it becomes an adult after 1-2 times of shelling.
