Post Has anyone had success in keeping a staghorn crab?

I had one of these about 6-8 months ago but it died in a few weeks. I would like to try again but would like to know if anyone has had good success with them? What are their requirements? Eating habits, etc.

Thanks,

Brian

These things are cool looking! My LFS had some awhile ago and was selling them for $50/ea.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. Did you check your water quality?. Could it have been stressed from travelling?

They burrow into a little staghorn coral (white, branchy looking thing), and carry it around as camouflag. Very cool looking.
