Care Notes

Suggest an improvement

Likes good ventilation. Needs heavy calcium intake for its dense exoskeleton, plenty of cuttlefish, eggshells etc. Enjoy vertical cork to climb and also ledges for same reason. Can be kept in relatively small enclosure as a small colony 20x15x15cm. But a master colony is best kept in a 40x20x20cm.
