found her, she reappeared around 10:00 pm last night... hadn't seen her since that time sunday. I've got the spot where they can get out closed off anyways.

I don't think that that would be the case, unless they lost their eyes as part of the molting process.
 
and in one big foul swoop my gsp , fig-8, and monos sensed an injury and tore the largest fiddler crab to pieces. The other two have been pretty smart since getting them and staying out of everyone else way. The other two rest on the middle brace of the tank under the lid of my hood.
 
I think that it's fell swoop, but still that sucks. Fish are pretty good at exploiting weaknesses in other things which they wouldn't mind eating.
 
How much aquarium salt do I put in a totally freshwater 5 gallon with about 2-3 gallons of water in it to make it brackish for RRC and Fiddler Crabs?

hmm... I forget the equation but I would think about half a cup of ocean salt NOT aquarium salt. Aquarium salt is completely different and doesn't work that way.
