Krae Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 So my hermit swapped shells and I just found what appears to be a dead hermit below him but he’s the only Scarlett one in there? Didn't look like an exoskeleton. 1 Quote Link to comment

Didn't look like an exoskeleton. If he was the only one then that is his molt. Hermits can run around without their shells. I’ve found several in my reefs naked. If it happens just hand them a shell. 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It can be startling to see a hermit crab molt @Krae, they look pretty lifelike at first glance, especially if they're moving a little in the current! That's definitely a crab molt though 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
