You could set up an iso tank just to be safe and have him in it for a bit

You can use prime to treat your tap water for both pools and you can use instant ocean for your saltwater.

They can both be found on Amazon and they aren't too pricey

I gave him turbos and the ones that have a d opening. He has almost ten in the tank in a range of sizes

Ok thank you

He's now just sitting in his coconut shell shop and I can't move him out do I just put some peanut butter near him?

You could also try to make a base or a frame for it out of wood but idk how you'd go about sealing it. I'm sure there's a way you could make a topper though

If it's just a hut I would carefully take it out and if he's molting scoop him up with a plastic spoon or smtg and place him in the iso tank. If he's in a ful...

If I were to go about doing one I'd get tanks that are the same width so that you don't have to worry about build smtg to hold the tank up But I'd use velcro so they don't slide but so you can still take them apart And if the topped isn't that big I don't think you'd have to worry about glass breaking

Ok thank you

Ok thank you

Would a ten gallon be to big? he's in a shell that has like 1.25 inch opening

I have a crab that came up from a molt a little while ago and he came up really pale and not that active as he has been in the past.
