Back From Vacation Mess

Dont rule out temperature. Certain turbos are very in-tolerant of high or even warmer temperatures.

I think temperature was the same all along....I can't prove that...but. One of my crab was found dead tonight as well.

Is it normal for those invert to die within one or two weeks?

SUre it was dead and not just a molt?

Yeah i'm pretty sure it was dead and again this morning there was an hermit crab that was dead. Out of his shell, half eaten with no meat pass his legs. I picked up the shell and it was empty.

Do hermit crabs get out of there shell, molt, hide for a few days and find a new shell?

That sounds EXACTLY like a hermit crab molt. Empty front legs and no rear. The back side of the hermit is very thin and usually blows away never to be seen again. Its very normal for hermits to molt, especially in a relatively young tank (dont know why that is, but they seem to do it a lot on introduction into the aquarium).
