Growth

Do crabs have to molt to get larger or can they still grow some without molting? It looks to me like my teenie crab Babe, has grown some but it could be my imagination. Anyone else notice this?

From what I understand, they only grow when they molt. Their exoskeleton is too hard at other times to grow.
