I have had my emerald crab for just over a month now. Last night i saw a very faded looking emeral crab, thought it was mine, almost floating off my live rock, i thought maybe it wasnt doing well and put it in a small "breeding tank thing that you would use for guppies and added some food for it. this morning i find that i have a very bright green emerald crab on the live rock near where i took the faded one from. I have to assume that he had shed and i put the exoskeleton into the breeding tank, my only question is is it possible for an emerald crab to shed its exoskeleton completely without destroying it,as i cant see any signs of exit on the faded crab skeleton, and the one still in my tank appears substantially larger. If this is not possible then i guess i must have gotten one in on the live rock and one of them died.
Thanks Erik
