We have one crab that was molting for a while. He came back up but now I think his tank mate is molting they have been tearing up the tank lately. Not sure if I should try to iso the one that may be molting or leave him alone.
We also got 2 new crabs and had them in an iso tank. One of them attempted a surface molt and died The other one sat in the salt dish, drank a ton of water, ate and dug down to the bottom never to be seen again. I'd been checking on him and yesterday I was a little worried because I thought he was out of his shell. Then in the shell I could see a pinkish purple pincher. I was seeing his eco and him in this shell! I tried to get some pics but didn't want to stress him out and wasn't getting good ones so I stopped. There is less and less of his eco left when I check so I would say he survived.
Yay but stressful! LOL
Phew one survived molt but he seems to have started a trend!
