How long has the crab been under? How large is it? How long have you had it?

Thanks i think the pps was too much for him. Thank God all four of my other guys have had successful molts and are now safely in their new tank. I was going to adopt 2 more and keep them in my old but i decided with the loss of kiwi to just stick with 4 crabs and put all my effort into them. I feel so bad kiwi came.from such bad conditions i did as much as i could for him but he was so weak. I hope where ever he is he's in peace in a moss patch in the clouds. Thanks for your kind words
