So I went to my local Barnes & Noble to pick up my pre-order of Parade of Horribles and they also gave me my pre-order of the graphic novel that from my understanding doesn't come out for another week. Am I right in thinking I'm not supposed to have this yet or did it release early or something? Its the full novel I'd show more pics but don't want to spoil if there is anything in it that isn't supposed to be out there yet.

I finally got a camera hoping to get some cool videos of my crabs and the first thing my crabs does is climb up the rope ladder and then to the top of the coconut to try to get to the camera. Just when I was worrying about him making it to the camera I got another notification with a video of him falling and thankfully not making it to the camera.

I think I might need to get some new shells for my crabs and am not sure the size to get. The 1st picture, the nonturbo shell was my crabs old shell. He's currently in 1 similar to the 2nd and 3rd pictures but just went down for a molt. I've also got another one currently molting who was slightly bigger and has been molting for a bit. I had thought the turbos would be big enough for him too when he came out but am not so sure now based off of the other one that was slightly smaller taking one of the bigger turbos.

Edit: was able to get a picture of my middle sized crab and added it in the comments.

Background info that may or may not be relevant: About 3/4 a year ago I got my daughter 4 hermit crabs while on vacation. We fell for the souvenir scam not realizing how much work and how cruel those places were but have since made a healthy crabitat for them through watching videos and getting help on this subreddit. I think 1 of our crabs didn't make it but don't know for certain because we never found a body or any sign like that that one was dead we just stopped seeing it with us only having 2 or 3 that were active at a time for awhile now. In January all 3 of our for sure ones we had seemingly went down to molt. Since then at least 2 of them have came up and as of March all 3 of them were still alive, one of them I saw in a tunnel through the glass but haven't seen him come up and he moved away from the glass when my daughter peeked in. This one was the biggest of the 3 we for sure had still alive which I still haven't seen above ground, but I'm not up all night and don't have a camera for them.

Relevant question: 2 days ago I noticed one of my crabs I'm assuming molting next to the glass. I took a picture of it and hes been there for at least 2 days now and I noticed him move slightly the first time I saw the hole. I don't want to shine a light or anything that could disturb him but today I was able to better see/take a picture and noticed he was a more pale color that I'd seen them be before as well as the fact that he doesn't seem to be in a shell or the very least has his claws and legs out of his shell. Is this anything to be worried about and do I need to worry about him being by the glass if he is molting? I don't want to move him if hes molting and don't mind him by the glass but I also wasn't sure if him being there could cause issues if he's molting.

Tldr: Should I be worried about color or crab potentially molting by glass?
