HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Help! One of my crabs are out of the shell, but I don't know if its molting or what I should do, I have surrounded it with shells its half underground next to the water source. I saw it earlier today with out its shell and in the same spot ITS NOT DEAD but I don't know what to do...

Thanks!

if u haven’t already take a look at the topic on what to do with a named crab
put him in a dark iso tank with plenty of shells around his size and water and healing foods
and try not to handle him
you should fill out an emergency form so i could see your tank conditions

A crab will drop it's shell when it is too weak to carry it.
