    So I came down stairs after sleeping (doing over night shifts) to find that Carol was being cleaned up by my CUC. I have no clue what happened (most likely nature) but everyone else is fine.

    No :( She molted once so I know what her's look like. Her little body had meat in it still. Plus the hermit didn't touch her molt, they were all over her this time. :(

    a failed molt is due to low calcium levels, since i do not belive your tank has any coral and you are probably not dosing calcium this may have been the problem
