Hi,

We picked up a scarlet reef crab last Friday. On the first day was really active and climbed up to the top of a rock and perched there on a flat bit. But it hasn’t really moved since. Eyes are moving and claws are in and out and when I popped in some crab cuisine yesterday it pulled it close and seems to have eaten it. I had heard they were really active hermits. Is it getting ready to molt or really stressed or just lazy? Water parameters all good!
