Mr crabs molted!!

Well I guess I am doing something right, ;D he hasn't molted for ever. I was scared at first he was just sitting there not moving for awhile and tonight when I got up to feed the fish there was his old body(shell) next to him. I wish I could have watched him molt, that would have been interesting.

 

you should get used to it, it should happen alot, good luck

 

The first time one of my guys molted, i got scared. All i saw was this empty exoskeleton and no crab! Then i found an empty shell. I then saw a bigger shell start to scurry and realized he had just molted and moved to a new shell.

 

Molting is very cool. My Coral Banded Shrimp does it every three weeks or so.

 

Should you remove the old exoskeleton or is it fish food?

 

food for the critters

I leave them in.
