Is the pink indo a genetic thing that lasts or their whole life or just a temporary colour until they moult ?

I don't know any crabbers that own one. I know some shady online sellers purported to have some.

All crabs can vary in color and usually darken over their life span. PP's can start out pinky beige or tan and end up deep maroon, almost black.

I have a pink Indo that I recently adopted from another member. She's had this crab for at least 10 years. From my understanding she has pretty much stayed a pink/lilac color.
