WHATS THIS ON MY CRABS CLAW (aggression?)

just in june i introduced a new crab (taco) to my tank for my single crab (chalupa). there was a bit of pecking order that went on as chalupa is a bit larger, then they both went down to molt at the same time and both came back up around the same time. chalupa (pictured) had been up and moving around and chilling on the surface while taco has been coming up and down. i found this on her claw after a week long trip. i put a mountain of food in there and a dish of coconut oil. could this be the result of aggression or some missed skin from her molt? (apologies if i used the wrong flair)

Fruit flies AND moth HELP

Hey everyone I’ve seen a few fruit flies in my tank and i thought it was because i have a struggling jade plant in the same room but i recently found a moth in their enclosure and killed it. I wasn’t sure what to do as both my crabs were molting. One of my crabs came up so i went to put some food in there and i found another moth. What do i do and is this bad for my crabs?

What size is she?

I’m not sure how big her shell is as it came in an assortment of like 30 smaller and a few bigger. she’s been in these pants for over a year and I have a few shells in there that i think are her size but she’s already molted with the same shell. i’m wondering if anyone can help me with figuring out what size shells to purchase for her incase she wants/needs it? Also do you think she is classified as a large or medium crab?

Help my og crab is a bully!

Hey everyone i need some advice, ive had my original hermit for about 2 years now (shes large) in a 20 gal long and ive been wanting to get a new friend for her so shes not alone since i was told 10 gal per crab but i wasnt confident in my keeping abilities so i held back. today i impulsively adopted a new baby (medium sized) and introduced it to my main tank with my original crab. everything was okay for a few hours but i seen they were about to interact so i watched for a bit and my bigger one started attacking my smaller one. i removed my small one and made a make shift enclosure in a tub i had for the night. i asked a few people if i could mix sizes in my tank and they said yes. what should i do now? i don’t wanna have to surrender the little guy it would break my heart but i also don’t wanna push the limits of my original baby and make her miserable when i was just trying to enrich her life. please any advice would be great!!
