Hi,
My husband and I just bought a new house with an aquarium in November, and we are slowly learning about our new saltwater fish. We bought two hermit crabs in November. When I bought new shells for the crabs my larger crab molted. Which was fairly traumatic because I thought he was a goner. However, a few days ago he was all over the tank eating, looking great, and in his new shell. Now, I cannot find him again, nor can I find the smaller crab. Could he be molting again? Is there another step to the molting process? I have been adding calcium to the water, could this be effecting his need to molt? Thank you for any advice you may have.
