I've been in the SW hobby for a good 17+ years. I'm rather used to all the like-clockwork hermit molts that show up on a weekly basis from some random hermit, but I must confess, with some animals I still get spooked or do a double take.
Just today, I saw one of my two pom-pom crabs, looking pretty good, and then I saw another one sitting nearby, and noticed he was missing his anemones. My immediate reaction was: "Oh nooo, poor guy lost his nems!" Took me a minute until I realized: waaait a minute... the second one is looking awfully pale. And sure enough, it was just a fresh molt!
So how about you guys, do molts still freak you out from time to time?
