Maybe it was changing shells and lost both in the transfer??? I watched mine change and they get them lined up just so, then hop over, usually on the sand, but maybe he was feeling adventurous.....

Yeah, nudist hermit crabs. Definitely a designer breed...

Hopefully it found a shell to occupy because it was one of the more impressive ones in my tank. Like I said I would like to see the one it lost its shell to.

I have three large hermits in my tank and have actually seen that behaviour before no idea what causes it but they drop their shell and run butt assed nekkid around the tank for a day or so then collect their shell again

Mayhaps they are moulting its only thing I can think of
