Eighty-two degrees!? Are you TRYING to kill it!?
Maybe it's just something that will pass. The flu or something.

Thats sad. The bad thing abut haveing water pets is that you can't really take them to the vets.

He might have gotten a virus or something if you had put that girl crab into the tank after, I would check out the crabs body and look up diseases it could get.

When was the last water change? Does he have things to climb on?
"Specific disease among captive fiddler crabs is rare. Most problems result from improper salinity, pH or temperature or too many crabs in a limited area."
It's possible he's just sick, but sounds like it's rare.

Fahrenheit, Sat. ;) Not Celsius.
I know. :) You silly Americans and your silly outdated non-SI systems. :P
Sounds to me like a disease or something. Maybe he had something from the start, just with a long incubation time?

I'm very sorry about your crab

I wish I could have been of assistance, but I am only familiar with hermits, not fiddlers. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear that.

Was silently hoping he'd pull out of it and be back to cutely wiggling his claw around.
