Emerald crab hosting in a toadstool?

Recommended Posts

I have an emerald crab who uses a toadstool for his nighttime bed. It's been doing this for the last week/week and a half or so.

 

Around 10-11pm, he'll climb on the toadstool and it retracts in response. When we come out in the morning, this is what we find:

Should I care? It doesn't seem like the crab is picking at or irritating the toadstool.

 

Thanks!

As far as I know, only zoos can be in danger. I kept mine well feed and he never give me any trouble. They have very interesting behaviors thought

I can only say I had an emerald crab that ate almost every little green tip of of my toadstool. I had to get rid of the crab and it was nearly a week before my toadstool started extending its tentacles again.

 

It doesn't look like he is bothering it though so i probably wouldn't worry to much unless you see him pick at it.
