Hi iv'e had him since just after christmas, he is about 3.5" across at the moment. Also you have to keep them on there own due to aggresion issues.

Rainbow crabs are true fresh water crab, but as with most crabs, they are a land based animal. though some members do keep them in tanks with just something sticking out the water for them to sit. they can get big say 8inches across, and really need kept on their own. masses of fun but very aggressive! their colours are varied, but do seem to fade as the crab get older.

Yeah my plans are to move him into a dry land tank with a bowl of water in it when he gets a little bigger.
