2 year update: ua-cam.com/video/z7TijZsTKyw/v-deo.html *There are some questions that I'm getting a lot so I'll just answer them here.* Q: _How can you 'accidentally' catch those animals?_ A: As you've noticed I collected a lot of seaweed and algae. The animals were probably hidden somewhere in that algae. I did not see them. Q: _What does it mean if they 'disappeared'?_ A: In the aquarium hobby, when people say "X has disappeared" It normally means that it was weakened or dead and got consumed by the others in the tank before the aquarist knows. That's also what happened here. Q: _Why did you not return the crab back to the ocean?_ A: The only saltwater I had was the water in the jar. That water was already polluted, which was fine for in the ecosphere but it wouldn't have been good enough to transport the crab. It would have been a trip of a few hours, too long. If I had tried to take it back it would have died. Instead, it got to live another five months. Q: _If it were in the ocean the crab would have lived a happy long life._ A: If that crab was still in the ocean, the chance of it being eaten at it's small size or dying for other reasons would have been really high. Only a very small percentage of crab babies ever make it to adulthood. If it makes you feel any better, the crab nor the starfish have consciously suffered. Starfish don't have brains and crabs aren't capable of any complex emotions other than physical pain. For all questions that concern the working of the ecosystem, like: _Where do they get air?_ or _You should do water changes_ please consult this video: ua-cam.com/video/K0ImENkmIBo/v-deo.html If you want to try this yourself but don't know how, I made a how to video: ua-cam.com/video/2vm8fqqJpZM/v-deo.html
Coming from someone who lives on an island and is surrounded by ocean, it is SO EASY to accidentally take home creatures, and often if you live far from the ocean [foreigners traveling from place to place] it's best to just take them with you than to return them to another beach far from where you've found it, or even travel back to the same beach. The amount of stress the animal has endured + change in environment would 80% of the time kill the animal anyway. If they happen to survive, for creators like this, it's a good thing! This experiment isn't as 'cruel and harsh' like people are saying. The crab was a mere accident, and there's millions of them all over the beaches. If anything, the little dude probably enjoyed free no effort food, and no predators for the 5 months he lived there. Thank you for telling the full story! It's amazing to watch things like this. I was very interested to see what had come of the little jar.
RelentlessPedigree no it's not true at all, you're right. Just because starfish don't have brains doesn't mean they can't feel pain. They have a very complex nervous system. and as for crabs not having complex emotions, you may want to read this science.time.com/2013/01/18/do-crabs-feel-pain-maybe-and-maybe-we-should-rethink-eating-them/ they certainly can remember and avoid repeating certain instances where the suffered pain. Thats definitely more than just a reflexive action. Animals, invertebrates deserve compassion regardless. My cousins have accidently caught ocean crabs(i live on an island, and they were the same kind as that one I think) multiple times to where I had to release them, one to a wave pool, I even marked his shell as an experiment and he was still alive weeks later. They may stress, but it's better to give them a chance at surviving.
@@jaggirl yea! Its because (at least for goldfish this is how it works) they release a certain type of chemical, I forgot the name, that lets them know when they start getting to big for an area, so if a goldfish were to be put in a small tank, it would grow until the chemical would (basically) tell it to stop
All praise jar crab for he was separated from sin by his holy jar of life yey though he died his sacrifice was so we might learn to be as he was. Without sin and inside of a jar!
I'm extremely high and was thus incredibly invested in the crab. Whenever it showed up I got so excited and felt so proud of it growing up. So sad for the thing ;(
@Holly Robertson there is a link in the top comment by the poster; the plants generate oxygen and release it into the water. Pretty much how our atmosphere has most of it's oxygen replenished by trees and other above water plants.
In order to grow larger, crabs need to shed their "shell". They do this by heading to dry land to cast off their skin and emerge larger. I learned this after my first pet crab died, because I did not provide it a dry space to shed its skin. Afterwords, I adjusted my habitat to have a "beach" area, and the new crabs did very well. I hope this helps understand what happened. :(
This may be true for some crabs but I doubt it applies to ALL crabs. Some of them live in very, very deep water and those ones probably never see dry land.
thinking of getting a crab and i'm curious. how did you set up the beach area? i'm assuming your new habitat wasn't in a a jar because i'm not sure how you'd make a beach in there.
@@marioncobretti8210 that's a pretty strong idea of acid though. The acid in our stomachs still takes hours to digest things "debatable on size and natural protection is a virus would be perfectly fine but a burger gone in 4 hours" but xenomorph blood is practically Nital.
There are two types of worm, ones who jiggle and ones who don't. Reminds me of what Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy said: “There are two types of beings in the universe - those who dance, and those who do not.”
🧐 And then, he died because the long term closed ecosystem caused a chemical imbalance in his brain, which led to Alzheimer’s and he forgot how to live. 😥
Yeah but when they do escape, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll televise it and classify it as reality tv even though everyone else will know it's actually all scripted....
WARNING when doing this experiment be sure to have an air hole or the dead matter will begin to build up pressure against the glass and may explode if you have an air tight jar because dead matter will release loads of gas
The crab had entered this world but not only did he survive he thrived! Upon his death he entered the halls of Valhalla as a hero leaving his mortal shell behind as a reminder of his greatness. Nobody saw his last moments but you and I both know it most likely was valiant.
well just think about all that protein and omega 3 you most likely gotten from accidentally swallowing the sea water. so it won't hurt you except the salt water which can cause dehydration.
That was the cutest little crab ever! I think he was happy- he was safe and fed and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ The issue of freedom and limited space may come up, but he was a tiny crab, not a blue whale. I don’t think they travel very far from their home base.

That is an amazing video, very well done. I never knew somthing like this would work. Great job for the documentation process. That alone is a process to get lost in. Capturing a year long video is an achievement in it self. Thanks for sharing and doing this. It's fascinating!
Every time I see your videos I think about how cool it would be to make really large closed ecosystems. In the order of a few cubic meters. In this case maybe simulating waves through some mechanism. Maybe have a small beach with rocks and a deeper section. Things like that. I do find these things fascinating.
How about one the Size of a stadium? Be interesting to run the experiment for decades and see how the captive life differed from their wild counterparts
@@l21n18 There were the Biosphere experiments. Those were likely a bit ambitious. Way beyond a terrarium since people tried to live in them from the start. I think experimentation with various sized closed terrariums excl. people is a good starting point. Even a stadium sized one as you suggest. Something like that could contain a drone or rover or two for an inside view and select manipulation too.
The good news? You don't have to worry about that possibility. The better news? The reality is that things are almost certainly infinitely weirder than that.
I suggest keeping these ecospheres in a temperature controlled environment. preferably at a lower temperate. might help quite a bit. i would also seek remove any crabs or crab nymphs to eliminate ammonia spike risks.
It Really did not. It died severely stunted, probably malnourished, and choking in its own shit. Ecospheres are incredibly cruel to the animals inside, including the little crab.
@@killerslowpoke To be fair. There are worse ways to go. Getting picked up by a seagull, eaten by a slightly larger crustation as a baby. At least we can all be happy that it probobly didn't have a large or complex enough brain to know how shitty it's life was.
@@blueberry1vom1t Yeah but....those are done By Nature lmao. It's necessary for seagulls to eat crabs and other crustaceans to scavenge for stragglers. Not for a grown man to pick up a baby crab, KNOW it's in there, willingly CHOOSE to leave it in there, and then let it fester in its own shit. Have you ever slowly burned in a bath of your own piss and shit over a period of several months until you died? I don't care if it wasn't "smart" enough to know that theres a better life out there, this dude actively inflicted a slow painful death on a living creature. At least death by seagull is swift.
“Out of the depths of the earth.. 🧐🤔(er).. of the jar..!!” You gotta love it. Your videos are wonderful! Thank you for inspiring so many of us, Life In Jars! 💜😘🌎 Also, lovely Jeff Goldblum quote.
I read this comment .05 seconds before he said it. Litterally as I was pronouncing it in my head he said it.. I go "wait that's it!" As my brain went inverted for a minute.
It makes me think of the accidental gulp of saltwater at the beach while swimming. Teaming with life! Great music and production/commentary. So enjoyable to watch life persevere.
What amazes me is that after a full year, you have life still thriving inside the jar WITHOUT your feeding it. I mean, you didn't add anything to the contents and life continues to go on it's merry way.
He was looking back at his life and thinking about all the great things he had accomplished. The many beautiful moments, of joy and hapiness, but also the many struggles he had gone through. He had come so far, but now it was all coming to an end.
Hey. Great job on the ecosphere. I love these things. It's sad the little guy died. But it's also nature. It's great you document it. Maybe set up a webcam just for it? Did the jar recover? If you close it down, be sure to return all the water and what's left to the ocean. It minimizes your foot print.

That is simply not true about the crab.

Me at 2:00 am: ok it's time to sleep
UA-cam: hey dude you want to see a jar.
Me: oh boy, here we go again.
Legit me right now
😂😂😂 that’s how they get us
Ahh shit here we go again
rorchach10 me right now at the maldives 😂
😂🤣 hahaha omg
I got so invested in the crab and I’m upset
Invested my ass, 😂
When your walking on the beach. Theres a 100% chance that your stepping on them under the sand,,😂. Haha
Enough with the drama bro
@@reynaldotremenio4141 it’s never that deep
but your the one that watched him grow up? o-o
Yeah man so sad
@@reynaldotremenio4141..... Thanks..... What I wanted to think about while at the beach....
Every time I see your videos I think about how cool it would be to make really large closed ecosystems. In the order of a few cubic meters. In this case maybe simulating waves through some mechanism. Maybe have a small beach with rocks and a deeper section. Things like that. I do find these things fascinating.
Thanks for giving me inspo for when I finally win the lottery
@@lizxu322 Hehe. I hear you :) Would be grand
How about one the Size of a stadium? Be interesting to run the experiment for decades and see how the captive life differed from their wild counterparts
@@l21n18 There were the Biosphere experiments. Those were likely a bit ambitious. Way beyond a terrarium since people tried to live in them from the start. I think experimentation with various sized closed terrariums excl. people is a good starting point. Even a stadium sized one as you suggest. Something like that could contain a drone or rover or two for an inside view and select manipulation too.
Let's go further and make a Mars-sized terrarium, that would be dope
Let's us always remember Jar Crab and it's inspiration to us all 😢
inspiration?
@@o-mads2630 too like persevere or something
Raoul Simon jah crab 🙏
He was survivor, beating the odds.
K 49 yes, by being a mistake and then still being missed
"The crab hadn't changed much in size but somehow seemed more mature in its behavior."
The crab now drinks coffee and subscribes to the New Yorker
lol
When you haven't seen a friend since middle school lol.
Crabs have now been classified in the UK as Sentient beings. Along with octopus 🐙 and other animals like that
Ooh edit: crabs too
That was funny
I was thinking the same thing. 😌
wait....what if the universe was actually in a jar at someone house ?
And that is also in a jar and that’s also In a jar and that’s also in a.. I give up
XanderCreates ...jar XD
Sounds like that cupboard in one of the Men in Black films. Also in a episode of the Simpsons.
The good news? You don't have to worry about that possibility. The better news? The reality is that things are almost certainly infinitely weirder than that.
@@xandercreates6766 that would be a stuck in a matrix
I suggest keeping these ecospheres in a temperature controlled environment.
preferably at a lower temperate. might help quite a bit. i would also seek remove any crabs or crab nymphs to
eliminate ammonia spike risks.
That crab had an easy life :0
Just a small chill room with food just for itself and no one fighting with it or seagulls wanting to eat it.
literally was like a king his whole life
It Really did not. It died severely stunted, probably malnourished, and choking in its own shit. Ecospheres are incredibly cruel to the animals inside, including the little crab.
Hmm. Slowly cooked. I guess there are worse ways to go.... but it's up there.
@@killerslowpoke To be fair. There are worse ways to go. Getting picked up by a seagull, eaten by a slightly larger crustation as a baby. At least we can all be happy that it probobly didn't have a large or complex enough brain to know how shitty it's life was.
@@blueberry1vom1t Yeah but....those are done By Nature lmao. It's necessary for seagulls to eat crabs and other crustaceans to scavenge for stragglers. Not for a grown man to pick up a baby crab, KNOW it's in there, willingly CHOOSE to leave it in there, and then let it fester in its own shit. Have you ever slowly burned in a bath of your own piss and shit over a period of several months until you died? I don't care if it wasn't "smart" enough to know that theres a better life out there, this dude actively inflicted a slow painful death on a living creature. At least death by seagull is swift.
The crabs name should be Truman because we’re all watching it’s life without it’s knowledge.
Pretty sure it was looking outside.

Idk how the eyes of a crab work. But wouldn't it be able of seeing through the window
True, man.

The crab died because plankton found the secret formula.

Wait, I dont get it. What is the formula?
PrettyLexiPrincess it’s a secret
PrettyLexiPrincess the krabby patty secret formula. (Mr.Krabs laugh)
Noooooo!!! Stop it. I wanna know the secret!!!! I really dont know.
Cant belive i watched this all. Cant belive im reading the comments. cant belive im leaving a comment. CANT BELIVE THE CRAB DIED!!!
Massive spoiler
Whoa man! Spoiler alert?

ROTFLMAO, good one
I want a crab mod and her crab in minecraft.
I absolutely love these experiments! They're like, adorable bite-sized pieces of nature, as it is in the wild.

What did jorry comment? It looks like he deleted his comment
@@confus.d Jory claims the crab took 5 months to suffocate, dying a slow horrible death... Not very logical!

Has quit drinking and partying all night, and started on a steady 9-5 job at the post office.
why is this funny

why is this my favorite comment i have ever seen XD
🧿👄🧿
When the crab died it really hit different tho 😭😭
i became depressed
@START GAME kkkkkk? Veio pelo amdre young?
How is a crab different from a starfish
@@PlatoonGoon Tf kinda question-
Yeah, I'm sad because of poor crab-friend dying :(
I also have ecosphere in a jar. Somehow it needs very little water (extra). It is a kind of mini-rainforest, very nice to watch.
that crab lived an ideal life! he didn't have to worry about predators and had a self-sustaining food source. what more could he ask for?
He didnt have a home, that place was likley not suitable for him.
Food can't replace the empty space of not having others of your species... I feel so sad for this lonely crab ._.
MrOrzech Well crabs aren’t pack animals, so it likely wasn’t sad about that.
A female crab?
@@MrOrzech1 You're way more sad than that crab ever was. Cheer up, bitch.
Today I heard the words "even mind-blowner" and my life is complete.
I read this comment .05 seconds before he said it. Litterally as I was pronouncing it in my head he said it.. I go "wait that's it!" As my brain went inverted for a minute.
Truth!!!
"I'm even mind-blowner"
That's the amazedest expression ever.
10:45
Mind-blown - Mind-blowner - Mind-blownednest. Elementary stuff......
This was the only reason I came to comments. I mean, yeah, crab died and all, but "mindblowner" totally got me!
@@beckyking3387 Same here LOL!!!
As soon as i saw the comment he said it,i fucking died laughing inside💀😂😂😂😂
It makes me think of the accidental gulp of saltwater at the beach while swimming. Teaming with life!
Great music and production/commentary. So enjoyable to watch life persevere.
I loved crab like a brother. He was like a father to me.

Was he like a brother or father? Make up your mind.

Salt Water Jar, 1 year later: coral reef, 2 great white sharks and a gray whale have grown inside my jar
Get a bigger jar then
That'd be cool
Year 2 update : spotted a couple of scuba divers, an old shipwreck and organisms like humboldt squids and sperm whales.
I currently have a glowing orb in my jar.

@@paupaudod1000 why would you read the comments before finishing the video?
Blánca mate you’re telling me that you only scroll through comments once the video has ended and you’re all alone with a silent device?
just when i planned to make the comment that crabs can live 40 to 70 years so he could get a bigger jar already 🤨
Its so special to see a crab in a jar. Dont know why but its so impressive!
Why is nobody talking about jiggly worm :(
jiggly worm the legend

In two years: "Wow something amazing happened. A kraken has randomly appeared in the jar!"
And disappeared the next day...
le wild spionid worm appears *battle music plays*
It was caught accidentally
@@swing_1622 did you just assume that jar is a kind of pokeball? wormball? wormcylinder?
And I made krakon bakon
What amazes me is that after a full year, you have life still thriving inside the jar WITHOUT your feeding it. I mean, you didn't add anything to the contents and life continues to go on it's merry way.

Aww
@@SaucyJack. ofc, makes sense
Man that’s pretty messed up
You’re a crab?
I'm amazed to see life in there for so long but I'm even mind-blowner to see it survive the heatwave and ammonia spike from the dead crab..
"It hadn't grown much in size, but seemed more mature."
He knew he was gonna die.
He was looking back at his life and thinking about all the great things he had accomplished. The many beautiful moments, of joy and hapiness, but also the many struggles he had gone through. He had come so far, but now it was all coming to an end.
swear to god this felt like charlottes web 2, How very special are we, for a moment to be, part of lifes eternal rhyme
That's real internal personal growth.
Why did it (and this comment) make me think of Olaf's song in Frozen 2? 😂
The poor crab died a virgin, sad story.
😂😂😂😂
@juggliar Omg 🤣🤣🤣
No u
No, it died because of fucking the sea worms.
MasterOne Piece and I oop
I loved that small crab like it was my child. I will never recover from this tremendous loss
I love how even in a jar filled with water, there can be a mass extinctions
This makes me think of all the times I accidentally drank sea water...
The acid in your stomach is way too strong for anything to survive, don't worry.
I didn't until I read this comment
Imagine if it went in the lungs. And a couple of months, you'll see you have a starfish in near your heart.
Maybe you’ve accidentally captured a crab once or twice
I've always found ocean water disgusting. This just confirms why.
THE BOB ROSS OF STUFF IN JARS
Your videos are intriguing and weirdly soothing.
LMFAO!! Yaaaaasssss
I was just thinking the same lol!
U should do this with water from an no swim zone or a toxic waste pond
YES PLEASE
That would be very interesting!
This is how Godzilla happens, at the 65 million year update
🤣🤣
Yeah, and maybe not grabbing all that stuff barehanded...
I just randomly saw this video, quickly became invested, and then got sad when the little crab died. What a journey.
This mans apt must be every cats dream. Jars on windowsills just filled to the top with important and smelly stuff
Friend: So how did you spend last night
Me: I watched a guy show me his jar, full of decomposition
Sounds about right
accurate
Facts tho
Doesn't anyone keep jars of piss anymore?
Same lol home bored drinking watching videos of stuff in jars lol
Damn the crabs death was spoiled for me in the comments
Ur profile and name said it all
Lol, your comment spoiled it for me like a minute before I got to that part.
bruh
I'm lowkey kind of upset everyone spoiled it's death.
I read this comment as it died☹
Hey. Great job on the ecosphere. I love these things. It's sad the little guy died. But it's also nature.
It's great you document it. Maybe set up a webcam just for it?
Did the jar recover?
If you close it down, be sure to return all the water and what's left to the ocean. It minimizes your foot print.
