Black Lightning Crab

They don’t like deep water. However, when they molt, the water level should be cover 100% of his body height. You can feed the crabs turtle food, fish food, dry shrimp, live shrimp, roaches, live fish etc… They can live 10 years in wild. In captivity, I have friends kept them for 4-5 years.

A paludairum or a vivarium will be a more comfortable environment. Warrior crabs are good climbers, they can escape through a wire. So it is highly recommend to use a lid for paludarium.
