molting

[mark vincent muriel]

guys my blue legged hermit crab just molted.. but i removed molt... are they going to eat their molt or its fine if i remove it...

 

[P-Dub]

Leave it, remove it. I don't think it makes a hill of beans either way. I leave all my crustacean molts in the tank. At some point, they are just gone. Magic? Absorbed into the ether? A mystery that I don't think or worry about.
