4 (possibly) Molting Crabs

Post by pearl29mi » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:41 pm

4 of my crabs went down the first one last week, the second one this week, & the 3rd & 4th this morning. I'm a little nervous because I don't want anyone to run in to someone if their molting. I have about 2x the substrate of my biggest crabs shell, will they be okay?

If you can add some more sub very gently to bump that level up to at least 6" or 3X as deep as the largest crab, they should be okay. How large is the tank?
