Saltyduck Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 My blue legs haven't been moving much lately and I saw the one that was in the largest shell has not been moving. I came home and saw a body on a rock and a shell close by it. Great. I picked up the body, gave it a sniff...didn't smell but hey, maybe it was fresh. I picked up the shell - looked empty. I kept it in there in case anyone else wanted to move in. I peeked in there a little while later and saw it crawling out. I didn't know these guys moult too! Link to comment
