I caught one of my pompom crabs molting this evening and i managed to get it all on film! Never seen any of crabs do this before so was great to watch, The video isnt the best as i caught it on my phone but you get the general idea! :bigsmile:

Great job catching him on film. I see mine every 3 months or so If I am lucky. Always a special day for the wife and I when we can watch him.
