Perfect in shipping. Fun to watch....get eaten! These are some really stupid crabs! We tried putting them in one at a time enclosed until they reached the sand and boom! They would swim up and the small ones were eaten quickly by larger fish. One swam right into an anemone and was fatally stung before I could get him out! Of the seven purchased I know three have survived so far as I have seen them "sifting through the sand!" So beware and have fun. These will be a do over in the future.
