Yes, I am interested in knowing as well, and to add to this inquiry, I would also like to ask when did you first procure/adopt this crab?

I got the crab in 2003. He was with me for about 7 years. Unfortunately he was molting the last time I did a deep clean. I put him in ISO, but the ISO got mold in it. I put him back in the main tank as he seemed ready. But he passed a couple weeks later.

Sorry for your loss JMT

I would have been very amazing to watch that crab regrow his eye to complete normality then live a long life with you

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for sharing pics. I have similar pics of my crab Favre though unfortunately I didn't take pics after every molt. When we purchased him July 31, 2008 one of his eyes looked a little hazy and it appeared to get worse between that time and his first molt with us. He has molted 5+ times with me in two years going from a small to a medium. I have only two other crabs who have molted as often with me; Elanor going from teeny to small and Shai going from small to large. All other crabs that I purchased that same year have only molted 1-3 times but I'm beginning to get off track here.

PICS:
9/21/2008

1/16/2009

6/16/2009

and this month (sorry it's not a close up)

ETA: it's hard to see in the last pic but the eye is still slightly smaller than the other so not quite completely back to normal. There was another molt or two between the last two pics.
