The male can only mate with a female while her shell is soft, a period of about 48 hours after moulting.he megalopa later moults into a stage one crab. Stage one crabs are only about 4 mm wide, but frequent moults mean that they grow very quickly. It is thought that wild mud crabs grow to around 10 cm in width in about a year and become sexual mature in about two years.

Puffer FishPuffers are comical looking fish, especially    when they are âpuffed upâ and look like a ball with    fins. By rapidly swallowing water or air, they are able to expand    their bodies up to 2 times their normal size in order to deter    predators. Many species also have spines covering their body    as added protection. Although most Puffers are not very colorful,    they make up for it with their character and personality. When    kept in an aquarium, Puffers quickly adapt and recognize their    owners and will always be âbeggingâ for a meal. Puffers    come from warmer ocean waters around the world where they feed    mainly on crustaceans and mollusks. They have specialized teeth    and powerful jaws that allow them to crush the hard shells of    their prey. Puffers vary in size â the smaller species only    growing to 3 inches and the largest reaching over 2 feet in length.    Puffers are generally hardy and do best in large tanks with lots    of swimming space and some rocky dÃ©cor for shelter. Larger    species definitely require an efficient filtration system along    with frequent water changes to deal with the large amounts of    food consumed and waste produced.Puffers will eat all types of food and should    be fed a variety of meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, clams,    etc., along with a supplement of vegetable fare to provide necessary    nutrients. It is also important to provide hard shelled crabs,    mussels, and shellfish in their diet to wear down their teeth    and prevent them from overgrowing. Puffers are semi-aggressive    and should be kept one per tank. They will eat smaller fishes    and should not be housed with any delicate slow-moving species. Forcing this fish to repeatedly puff may result in the death of this fish. The Blue/White Arothron Puffer would exhibit this characteristic as only a last resort, because it would lose its total mobility. Recommended Tank size: A 125 gallon or larger, fish-only aquarium with a good protein skimmer is suitable.
