Crabs will normally seek a very secluded place due to how weak and exposed they are during and after this phase. This crab was likely terrified and even more likely died.

Patch Notes ------------------- Max HP - Increased DEF/Armor -Decreased Attack Power - Decreased Movement Speed - Decreased HP Regen - Increased EXP Gain per Level - Increased Temporary nerf, but will ultimately be a net buff after farming some EXP and leveling up, as long as it's able to avoid higher level PvP players until it completely regens. Overall, still a decent class to play, but I do worry about it's performance in the current meta since it does not appear to be playing on an aquatic server at the moment.

FYI it can't do this faster as the new exoskeleton (aka the soon-to-be new shell underneath the old one) is still soft and slightly gelatinous. Once it hits air it hardens right up (which is why some crabs like to do this whole thing whilst outside of the water)but either way, when the crab's body is ready it will send out a kind or lumphatic fluid between the older layer and new layer

Poor crab. It's stressful for them to molt underwater. Doing it out of water has to be even more so. Blue crabs need a lot of oxygenated water, molting out of that makes things more difficult.

Oh no ☹ I was wondering if they typically molt underwater. I hope the crab was okay and the camera person properly helped it along its way

[@Funkybassplayer]

I knew this. Had seen it on a video from Sir David Attenborough. After the molt the crab is very vulnerable for weeks his new shell is not hard enough to withstand any predators so he keeps it very low key for that time period. Interesting video. 👍🏻👏🏻

Yes!! It took me a full minute to understand that the living crab wasn't the one toward us! I was horrified because I saw the eyes moving on what I thought were the remains, and it also looked like it didn't have a roof and that the internal organs were pulsing!! The crab legs seems very soft (which seems necessary to squeeze out of the previous shell) but I wonder how much time it takes for everything to harden.

This is actually how they regrow their limbs inclusing claws. They have to molt so that the new arms can take place. In fact, this is the method for softshell crab farming. They cut the claws, forcing the crab to molt, then they catch it while their shell is still soft.

I didn't even know that crab molt! But, I'm in Northern Illinois, not many crabs here... besides our government! 😉🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 I'm gonna have to watch this a few more times & research this process, it's amazing!

This gives a whole new meaning to being "comfortable" in your own skin! 😮😂

A natureza é fantástica.

[@romanking1202]

Amazing video, my only slight concern is the discomfort it might've felt moulting on land (or in this case on top of a desk ) vs in a Water environment where gravity has less of a hindrance on this particular process... Either way cool vid bro thanks for sharing

[@pralayaryan]

why r u ppl always OBSESSED with discomfort of animals ?? they are animals they can handle it. they dont need ur pitty

I personally never watched a video of crabs molting before, but i read about it before. IIRC the molting process is pretty excruciatingly painful for them naturally so i don’t think being on land is the biggest of that crabs worries lol

[@deniseramosgonzalez4799]

Amazing, I didn’t know crabs did this. Very interesting and informative 😊 thanks for the video.

[@deepeshbasnet1974]

I have never seen anything fascinating like this. Literally jaw dropping. 😲😲😲

That was incredible to watch, thanks you for the upload. How long does it take for their new shell to harden?
