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
