Molting red legged hermits

[Chukthunder]

Two red legged hermits in my FOWLR climbed to the top of rock piles to molt and wait out their shell hardening. They're basically motionless except for their eyes peeking out and retracting for days now.

I looked this up online and found an article that said hermits hide under the sand and rocks when molting: http://www.seashellshop.com/Hermit-Crab-tips-MOLTING/

Anyone have thoughts as to what's up with them climbing and perching to molt, is this cause for worry?

Thank you.

Hummm. I don’t know much about it, but what are your options other than to wait it out, and hope to be pleasantly surprised? (Lol!) Best wishes :)

I'm hoping this is what happened to one of my red legged hermit as well when I noticed what looked like a carcass of the hermit just sitting on top of sand.
