Sounds like they just fine - if he is moulting, it won't be a huge shock for me, after all they probably put off moulting for months.

I've never had any problems with 'Impulse Buying'. They're just animals that I forgot I had planned to get.

Well just a quick update - he was molting and now he is fine. He came up a month or two back and is all perky. Also I had another one, Gizmo, go down to molt and just came up two days ago perfectly health. I have another down right now so I'm pretty much a pro at molting now! Now its just finding new shells for all the little beach bugs...
