new crab buried

boogiebear · 09-16-2008, 10:13 PM

I just got a new crab from the pet store, to occupy my other new crab, set up the tank as told. He was very active on the way home, made friends very fast with the other crab, then buried himself in the sand, in the hermie hut. Is he molting? I smoothed out the sand to see if he comes out tonight. I am sure the temp is ok so should I just wait or what?

Please read the sticky on new crabs and what is recommended...........I am sure he is just destressing he may molt too. Be patient but new crabs should be ISO'd-
