HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I had an E that was under molting for a few weeks. One of the bigger crabs accidentally dug him up last week so I put him in an ISO tank under a hidey. He was almost done with the molt and was actually able to dig himself down again.

He came back up yesterday to eat. He ate 2 bowls of food ... we saw him ... and now he is back down.

When we purchased Indy he was a deep blue gray color. He was also missing his BP (we felt sorry for him). I am hoping the BP comes back with the molt.

Anyway he is a light pink color now ... not that gorgeous deep blue gray.

Will his color change back?

This is my first molt ... so this is ALL new to me.

Well, some foods are color-enachcers, like carrots, blueberries, etc. That may be why, if he is lacking certain nutriets. But then of course I am feeding my crabs a crazy high color enacher diet, and they are all (well most) losing their color.
