Ok I have 4 hermits (1 which I thought got eaten) and a purple lobster. Is it normal for them to molt at the same time? I got up this morning and thought sombody had gone into a feeding frenzy and eaten the lobster and 1 of my hemits. But when I counted everyone was in the place. Also it's a good sign when they are molting right?
 
yea its a good sign and means that they are growing but i've never heard of someone having a straight up lobster in their tank. besides red lobster that is
 
Agree, if they are molting every few weeks, its a very good thing.
I have seen those Purple Lobsters at my LFS, very pretty. I am just afraid one would snatch my smaller fish.
