Was the white stuff fuzzy? If not (and you do have salt water in your tank) it was probably just salt residue. But better safe than sorry - humidity will help mold grow.
omg. do you have any spare UTH and gauges?

I don't have a UTH or gauges to spare (I just had to replace my gauge during the last deep clean with a new one from Lowe's because the last one's batteries exploded). I do have one brick of Eco Earth, some food, shells, and a little bit of salt water mix. Can you confirm the size of the opening on your crab's shell for me (not the overall shell's size, but the opening specifically)?

the opening is 1 1/4 inch.
Its okay ill save for a UTH. its just i heard that analog ones weren't accurate. I think it will do for the time being though.
I feel bad cuz the turbo shells i have are too big for him, and he tried to get into the ones his size but those weren't turbo. Thank you for the help.
He hasn't molted yet and eco earth would be VERY helpful cause he doesn't like all play sand. When i do my cleaning in 2 weeks ill use the eco earth.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP (:
