COReefer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I stared at my sally lightfoot this morning for about 5 minutes before I realized it wasn't going to move. (yes I know it's a molt and yes i'm fully aware that they do that.) That's how sleepy I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racefan Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I will tell on myself now.When my Emerald Crab first molted(first experience with any type of molting) I saw it one Saturday morning & was watching it & it was not moving. I thought "bummer that crab did not last very long" when all of a sudden I see this other crab moving along on the rock!! At first I thought "WOW where did this other crab come from? a hitchhiker??" Then it hit me.Oh wait I've been mourning a crab moltDOH! Why yes I did feel silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannedmulder Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I freaked out too! In fact I still have that first molt cuz it was soo cool! I would love to watch them molt. How do they get out of the shell? They leave it whole with no openings and the eyes and everything still attached!!! HOW?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The first time my red fire shrimp molted I took it out and flushed it. Then went around telling everyone my fire shrimp died. Looked like something hacked it almost in half. That night he came out from under the rocks and I realized it was from molting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
