So my largest crab levianthan loves digging in the front of the tank. Honestly in the most annoying spots possible . My molting crab is in a cave under the blue tape. There was a coconut hide there that levianthan was digging to get into, so I moved that, and now he's just digging near the molter for what seems to be no reason (I hope it's just innocent digging). In the photo the mark on the blue tape represents about the top of the molting cave there, and levianthan is just off to the right. I keep filling the spot back in and he keeps digging it out. Should I just continue this? Cheech has been under for almost 2 months now so should be up soon.

The molter is still down. It looks like it's harmless digging on leviathans part, he kinda is just tearing up all the sand along the length of the front tank glass, and doesn't ever seem to go very deep, so I just fill it back in when I change food. I'm expecting my molter up any day now hopefully
