I felt awful last night. I picked up the cocohut, and there was a shell under it! I grabbed my camera and held it so I could snap a picture (without flash) when I picked up the cocohut again, but when I did poor Rerun freaked and ran to his little hole and dug in as fast as he could! I felt so bad, and mean. No more tormenting crabs for a picture. So I don't know if he's done molting, or if he decided to pop up for some fresh air, or if he was even molting at all, even though I haven't seen him in weeks! After all, I put Jeffrey in the tank after he molted and I saw him maybe two days, and no more since then. I tell ya, I donno what's going on! lol.
