My second hermit crab died even before I could name the the poor fella. Ain't sure what's the cause. Just few days back, I saw it coming out of it's shell. It's something that you don't see daily. I thought it was looking for a new home -new shell. And then it just stood still on the soil, even though there were 3 new shell around for it to pick from. I noticed that something was very wrong. Then I thought it might be molting -process it sheds its old exoskeleton to make way for a new one. Unfortunately, all the hopeful assumptions turned its tide on me. The poor little crab died! C.O.D still remains unkown.
