Help with Hermit Crabs!

[Bloodasp]

Was watching one of my hermits one time. Took him a long time to molt, (saw him at 3 in the afternoon and was still at it, at lights out at 12 midnight) and was hiding behind the brain coral the whole just enough for me to see it was there.

I see... well, as an update: the red leg shell has moved... and who knows why... but still no red leg in sight... and the blue leg was burrowing even deeper in the same spot, and now had moved when I checked quickly this morning before heading to work... so he's alive alright... just, weird...

once upon a blue moon i had land hermit crabs in a 55 gallon tank it was beautiful and i know that land hermit crabs eat their exoskeleton for calcium idk if this is the case for sw hermits too but i am pretty sure that is with all hermits..... Hope this helped

I know hermits can pull themselves pretty deep in their shells so while it might look empty they might still be in there.

And none of my hermits or shrimp eat their exoskeleton
