I have only been crabbing since Jan of 07, and about 3 months ago i got a small and medium straws. they are pretty easy to take care of. although needing to adjust a couple of things. they need temp/humidity 80/80, big salt water dish(you already know that) feed them food with alot of color enhancement. like carrots,there is also a Astaxanthin powder. that is a color enhancer. vicki's store has a straw mix that has everything a straw needs. so i get that. they love it anyway,the tank needs to have things securely in place. althought they do find a way of knocking things over. lol other than that. straws are very fun to watch. Miles my Medium straw loves come out to watch me watch him. haha. Leif my small straw is a bit more shy than miles but still fun to watch.!!!
