I have a crab who has been down for about a month now, I thought he/she was just destressing so I let it be. Well I set up a bigger tat and was moving everyone to it, so I decided to slide the aquarium out enough to see if he/she was on the bottom and I could see whats going on and here is what I saw....

I was so happy to see the crab had molted and not died. I'm now whating impatiently for it to come up.

Cool you should document this so that you can see the molting process up close.

Very nice! I did that same when I was worried about one of mine... slid the tank halfway off the table and took pictures :)
