my Hubert sits way out of his shell and grooms himself, been doing it since I've had him so months.

Thanks guys! The two shells behind him are other crabs so there was no empty shells. He has stopped doing it so I guess he was just cleaning out his shell. That is the first time seeing my crabs sit like that so I wanted to make sure he is not sick or anything.
