So my hermit has been acting weird for 4 days. He's about the size of my fist. The crab, not the shell. Assumed he was molting and after 5 days, I pulled this out of the tank. 1/3rd of his shell I think he ate the rest.

Holy cow that's a giant hermit crab! Mine just molted but is like the size of a quarter and I thought that was big. Does he bother anything else?

Those guys are awesome.
Definitely looks like he ate part of his molt.
I want a massive one like that!
