Ok cool just thought I'd throw it out there I remember the first time my emerald molted, the molt was hairy and solid, I took it apart with chopsticks and was still convinced it was dead. Was the hairy legs and what looked like "white meat" inside it. After flushing it, I checked the tank and there the little bugger was. Still throws me off actually. Emeralds molt is like not shrimp, its tough (the shell) and the legs have always been hairy, even the eye caps make it appear like the crab himself.
