My very first molt!!

[turkey the crab]

Well, about 1 month ago, My crab Turkey, dug down, he had shown no signs of molting and had dug down lots times before. I was getting a little worried that legs had destroyed his tunnel and he was trapped. i decided to give him one more day and then i would see if he was dead. But when i came to check on them today he was on the surface! I still had no idea he molted. But when i was looking around the tank, i saw tiny bits of his old exo. He ate most of it. I can't believe he molted on me like that without showing signs! It's a good thing my other crab didn't eat him, I have no iso tank because i can't afford one. Two questions, What should i do with the remaining exo parts. and as soon as Turkey came up, Legs went down. Is this normal? should i look for him?

It's normal I think Maybe Legs wanted to molt cause turkey looked so pretty!
And I just left my extra exo pieces in the tank.

Legs surfaced. No idea why he dug down. Turkey has so much more hair and has the little needle toes

the orange on his leg is really nice.
