Personality
Chia is tiny but mighty — the most energetic crab in the colony. She is constantly on the move, climbing everything she can reach and exploring every corner of the tank. At night she is the first one out, racing across the substrate like she has somewhere important to be. Her curiosity is endless and she is always the first to investigate anything new added to the crabitat.
