ich hab diese krabbe seit einem halben jahr auch in meinen becken.
sie hat ihre festen plätze (hölen) und ist relativ friedlich.
man sollte ihr nichts in den weg stellen denn sie schreckt auch vor umbauten nicht zurück.
aktiv jagen macht sie nicht, aber sie verteidigt ihr revier.

ich persönlich mag sie überhaupt nicht weil sie soviel haare hat.
