shell disease
It looks like the very first crab my son bought has shell disease. I have him in the 10 gallon tank by himself. This sucks.

Yes it does suck when you lose one you have had for awhile. Are you sure it is shell disease?

He got done molting about two weeks ago. I picked him up last night and noticed he had sand stuck on his claw. Trying to clean it I noticed it was a round pit. While washing it off he pulled it back in pain, then I noticed it started seeping a clear fluid. So from what I have read it seemed like shell rot.
