Moulting changing different colors?
I’ve had my hermit crab for about a year. Last year my hermit crab molted and was a tan color when I first got him. He recently molted again and now he’s red and purple and I’m worried if he molted wrong?

Re: Moulting changing different colors?
A new exoskeleton is grown after moulting and the colour that appears will usually be different; it does seem to have something to do with their diet.
