This is the first molting experience for me and it is quite cool. One of my fiddlies molted sometime between yesterday and 8:00pm today. I was out of town at my friends house so I didn't see it till I came home today. I though one of my fiddlies died when I saw the crab laying on it's back on the sand but I realized I didn't have a yellowish white fiddler and upon closer examination it appeared to be hollow. I knew it was a definate molt when I saw that all my crabs were still active.

It was easy to figure out who it was because he was always hiding, and the molted crab had a large claw on its left hand and I only have one leftie. It was indeed Paras (like the pokemon).

His exoskeleton again! You can see him in the background. He was eating it but I kinda startled him.
I'll leave him be for a couple of days.

Hoped you guys like the pics. If you guys have any advice on any actions I should take let me know.
