I got my first crabs this past December, and my most active/strongest crab Hercules has had a successful molt in the ISO tank!! He’s currently underground still munching on his exo(you can see him through the bottom of the tank — don’t worry I didn’t disturb him), but I’m just so relieved that it seems to be going well. I had a couple others die from PPDS and failed surface molts, so I’m so grateful for Herc’s resilience.
He also ate a ton beforehand, which probably helped him a lot. Here’s a pic of him chilling underground, munching on his old exo! (We didn’t mean to disturb him at all btw, we didn’t even know that he molted until we carefully looked through the clear bottom to check on him and saw his exo there with him. We set out some new food/water/shells for him to check out once he surfaces
