It never dawned on me that they molted like other crabs. DUH!!! Ill check.
However I don't see them often, I hadn't seen them in 2 weeks.
Thanks.

Are you 110% *sure* it's really the crab and not just the molting..? It
sure
can look an awful lot like a whole dead crab when they do that...

Two months ago I lost the air conditioned in the house for a week. The
tank
got way too hot and I lost a lot of stuff. I lost during the crash a
porcelain crab, decorator crab, anemone crab, 2 shrimp and 2 emerald
crabs.
I have since replaced 4 different kinds of hermits, 3 kinds of snails,
3
anemones, some fish, cucumber, nudabranch, horseshoe crab and 2
emerald
crabs. Yesterday I found one emerald crab sitting pretty as you please
on
top of my mushroom leather, dead, today I found the other one sitting
on
some rocks, dead. Everything else seems ok as does that water
parameters.
The skimmer is working just fine. The salt is a little low at 1.021.
Any Ideas on what could have killed the emerald crabs. In the past I
have
had little luck with them also.
Thanks
