If it's still above the sand, most likely it's not molting yet. Sometimes, if the substrate conditions aren't right, crabs will molt on the surface, but in that case they usually try to find a quiet, dark spot in the tank (usually under a hidey or something like that). Good luck!!!


Thanks for the info. They usually sleep together and the one is behind the house. He is most of the way under the sand. He has been there going on 2 days now. Thanks again for the info. I'll take all the info I can get.
