@ReefSquad I think my hermit crab is molting, apparently it can take up to 8 weeks, is this true?

8 weeks to complete a molt? I've never heard this before. It's usually a few days at most, unless I'm not remembering this correctly.

It can. Just depends on the size of the HC. If they're small is shouldn't take more than 2 to 4 weeks.
