Hi I have 3 Hermies and about a month ago one of them moulted but father he moulted he was a sifflent color than before, he used to be a Grey color but now he is a lighter pink orange color. His activity level has increased (I think) but his color never went back to the normal colors of a purple pincher.
Should I be worried?
Thanks!
My crab is a new color after moulting

Re: My crab is a new color after moulting
It is common for exoskeleton colours to change with each moult. It depends on each crab's genetics, species and diet as well as other unknown factors. I would not worry too much.
