I have 3 hermit I rarely see two of them only really at night if I ever check the tank.Hard to say, but my guess is a molt. Crustaceans may hide out for a couple days after molting so it may be a bit before you know for sure
Well fingers crossed I haven’t seen the shell anywhere so I assume he/she is hiding nowIt does look like a molt. I find them with my emerald crabs and we save them. We have several bowls full of shells from the beach and we place them on the top.
Hiding for a few days (or sometimes longer) is totally normal.Well fingers crossed I haven’t seen the shell anywhere so I assume he/she is hiding now
Yeah wanted to get it out didn’t want to leave a carcass in there if it was.Hard to tell with it out of the water, but probably a molt.
I've got 2 giant blue legged HC in 2 different tanks and there have been times I swore one or the other was dead only to have them re-appear days later looking great. They can certainly fool you with the molting.Update to whoever decides to come back here.
All 3 hermit crabs are alive and good came out as the lights went out wondering around
It was definitely a shocker in the morning, but looks like I was fooled.I've got 2 giant blue legged HC in 2 different tanks and there have been times I swore one or the other was dead only to have them re-appear days later looking great. They can certainly fool you with the molting.
