Charolette is back!!! Successful molt!!! (and a question)
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2021 11:36 am
One of my PPs, Charolette, just came up from the sand after being down for just barely over 2 months. I am so happy that she made it! She has turned this gorgeous pink salmon color (the color of the hermit crab emoji actually)!
Now I just have to wait for my other PP, Bingo to finish up molting.
Since I have heard that crabs do eat other crabs that are molting, I am worried that Charlotte might search for Bingo and try to eat him. Though Bingo is a size bigger than Charolette is. And I didn't separate them into different tanks because I didn't want to bother them during molting. So, what should I do? Should I separate charlotte into another tank (which I only have a 5-gallon carrying thing which I used to carry them home)? Or should I let them be and trust that Charolette won't eat Bingo because she is smaller than him?
