Rest in peace to my yellow and red shell crab. He died March 8, 2015. He drown himself. We think it was because of the other large crab, with an Ariel shell, because he was getting bullied by him. He tried this several times but never succeeded. On March 7th, the yellow and red shelled crab was in the water. We did not think to take him out because on the 6th, he was in the water at night and got out when we went to bed. He was basically sleeping in and near the water bowl. My mom and I both thought to take him out the night of the 7th but we decided not to because we thought he would get out. On the morning of the 8th, I opened the lid and moved him out and across the tank. He seemed to be moving so we left him. For the rest of the day, he stayed where I set him in his shell. That night, I walked pass the tank and noticed Ariel crawling to the leafs next to yellow and red and yellow and red was laying on his side not moving away from Ariel. I quickly got my mom to help me move the lid and we found out he was dead. When we took him out of his shell, he was soaked. I now look at the tank and constantly have to remember that he is now gone. RIP red and yellow. You will always be in my heart.
