Saw cutest behavior!

One of my Es came up a few days ago from Molting. Since he went down I introduced a new PP to the tank named Upsidedown. I think Friendlyfeat hadn't noticed Upsidedown yet and thought he was a new shell. Upsidedown and Herbit are both PPs and were sleeping in front of each other in a little dip they created.
Friendlyfeat turned Upsidedown over and realized there was a crab and so he left. Upsidedown eventually came out of his shell a bit confused. (He and Herbit had been sleeping for 2 days). He then realized that Herbit was still asleep and so he poked him. Herbit didn't wake up. So then Upsidedown nudged Herbit. Herbit still didn't wake up.
So then, Upsidedown actually walked over to Herbit and gently, as if checking out a shell, scooted him towards him and then used his arms and legs to carefully flip Herbit upside down. He then walked away and waited to Herbit to wake up. It was so cute!
