Default missing molt crab

Hi guys! just recently my 4 small crabs decided to go underground so i figured they mustve molted.im not sure how long it takes for a small crab to molt but after a few days they were up again as if nothing happened. they are small..as in small crabs like mini ones. i noticed that there were crab joints and a pincer just lying on one spot in the tank.then i saw the smallest of the small crabs underground too but when i picked him up his shell was empty and covered with sand.put him back and hes stll not coming up. checked awhile ago and found out his shell was empty after i died it in the water bowl to clean off the sand buildup. i cant find him even after iv dug into the sand. what do you think happened?
