It’s a small, land-leaning sesarmid that naturally lives along shaded waterways in dense tropical habitat, where it can dig in damp substrate and disappear into leaf litter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"2117\"\u003eIn captivity, it spends most of its time on land, but still benefits from constant access to clean freshwater for dipping and during moults. Colour can be surprisingly variable some individuals show vivid reds, while others lean darker with orange edging often shifting with surroundings and stress levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"2117\"\u003eThey’re most noticeable from late afternoon into the evening, when they emerge to pick through litter and climb over roots, cork and rockwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":54783657967953,"sku":"red-apple-crab-unsexed","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Red-Apple-Crab_1.jpg?v=1788427703","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/orange-arm-crab-copy","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
