Do mini crabs molt?

[Alentino]

do those tiny porcelain and hairy crabs from rocks and acros molt? i've seen 1 or 2 dead crabs sucked up the filter on occasions and i'm not sure whether those are long dead or just shedded shells.

Read that cleaner shrimps even change their ###### from male to female and vice versa each time they molt!!

The crabs with hairy legs? The brown ones? Yeah they're pests but you know what? I've seen R*b*rn sell them before.. hahaha..

Yeah.. It's all good...
