plant attack

[mantis]

I have an asian ambula plant that the red clawed crab keeps clipping, only clips the tall plant at the middle
how can I stop this? Every day multiple times a day I come to see plant pieces floating at the top. I believe this is done in the crabs attempt to getting into the filter which it does often.

Your crab must the able to get out of the water, thats probably why hes getting into the filter. It could be that he is trying to in a way climb up the plant. Def. get him a way to get high and dry and see if that stops

Any ideas on how to help the crab get up there w/out needing to use the plants. It's a whisper filter.

Lower the water level about 1-2" and add decor that comes outta the water. Make sure your lid is TIGHT as they WILL explore outside the tank given a chance.
