My excitement was short-lived though. The night Turbo came up in her old shell, the other crabs got pretty aggressive with him and this is not the norm in my tank. One in particular, Gary, crawled on top of him and I don’t know how else to describe it other than it looked like he was tap dancing on top of poor Turbo. He was rocking him and also using his big pincher like a hammer (normal?). I never saw any pinching or pulling, but this was also all observed on my night vision and it’s not always easy to catch stuff. The situation lasted several minutes and all I could do was watch the video knowing there was nothing I could do since it had already happened. After Gary got off of him, Turbo laid there for a couple minutes and then got up and walked away, seemingly fine. Well, I’m concerned bc I haven’t seen him since...and he is easily my most active crab. This was about a week ago and he had just come up from a molt himself, so I don’t think it’s that.
I’m worried that he was injured and could be suffering. Could he just be hiding or de-stressing after what happened to him? I’ve looked in all the nooks and crannies of the tank, but I can’t go digging around bc I have 2 under.
What do y’all think? Is there anything I can do...should do? Worried about him.
On a happier note, here’s my Hermione
