Cubaris sp. ‘Giant Nguyen’ (Crabby)

Origin: Vietnam
Size: Approximately 25–28 mm in length
Difficulty (Keeping): Intermediate to High; requires stable conditions and attention to humidity and ventilation
Breeding Difficulty: Moderate; breeding is possible once the colony is well-established

Temperature: Maintain between 18–28 °C (64–82 °F)
Humidity: Moderate to high, ideally around 55–70% relative humidity
Ventilation: Provide good airflow to prevent mold growth while keeping at least one consistently moist area

Diet: Offer a varied diet including decaying wood, leaf litter, vegetables, fruits, and protein sources such as fish flakes or shrimp pellets. Calcium supplements like cuttlebone or crushed limestone are recommended to support healthy exoskeleton development.

Habitat Setup: Use a well-draining substrate mix of organic soil, rotting wood, and sphagnum moss. Maintain a moisture gradient with both humid and drier zones. Include bark, cork, and leaf litter for hiding places. Avoid excessive moisture buildup by ensuring proper ventilation.

Additional Notes:
Cubaris sp. ‘Giant Nguyen’—also known as “Crabby”—is a large and striking species originating from Vietnam. They grow slowly and thrive in stable, bioactive setups. Once settled, they can form impressive colonies. Recommended for experienced keepers seeking a unique and rewarding Cubaris species.
