My crab is suddenly purple! I have 3 and one was molting and just came up yesterday. I didn’t notice the purple yesterday, but did today. I’m not sure if this is the one who molted because 2 are similar in size with a very similar shell. What’s going on with this guy!? Is he ok?

Totally normal! They can change colors based on environmental things like what they eat and most especially right after a molt. Bright colors are generally sign of good health (not that relatively less bright colors would inherently be dangerous or worrying). Enjoy watching your new bright purple lil herm!
