I am so confused

[Audrey]

My little ruby crab molted a couple of day again and I just had to get my big ruby crab off of the little one and this is what I found after... Did me molt again??? I only have two in my tank..Please help.

Are you referring to that extra leg? Maybe it’s a piece from the molt?

 

[Audrey]

The one on the left is the molt from a couple of days again... The one on the right just happened

 

[Samina]

Ahh gotcha. Is the molt from the little guy missing any legs (hard to tell from pic how rear legs are looking). Or maybe it’s from a previous molt.

The little one has all 8 legs and I only have had them for one week...

 

[Samina]

Also since your saying that you had to get the larger one off the little guy, it’s possible that the larger one picked off a leg on the little one

He had the little one bye the leg and I got him off..

I am confused as to what you are asking here. You have two crabs, one big and one little. It looks like you have two molts (are those molts?), one big and one little, plus an extra leg. What was it you found after getting the big one off the little one? The extra leg? The leg probably got torn off the little one when you separated them. It'll grow back eventually.

Both molts come from the little carb.. the bigger of the two molts come first a couple of days ago and the littlest molt came today from the same crab...Here is the size between the two crabs.
