I was a commercial crab fisher, and have never seen this. Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for sharing

I think the most surprising thing to me is that it left its gills behind in its old shell. Imagine having to grow a whole new pair of lungs every time you have a growth spurt.

Patch Notes

Max HP - Increased
DEF/Armor -Decreased
Attack Power - Decreased
Movement Speed - Decreased
HP Regen - Increased
EXP Gain per Level - Increased

Temporary nerf, but will ultimately be a net buff after farming some EXP and leveling up, as long as it's able to avoid higher level PvP players until it completely regens.

Overall, still a decent class to play, but I do worry about it's performance in the current meta since it does not appear to be playing on an aquatic server at the moment.

In an alternate universe, a crab is filming a man changing his clothes.

FYI it can't do this faster as the new exoskeleton (aka the soon-to-be new shell underneath the old one) is still soft and slightly gelatinous. Once it hits air it hardens right up (which is why some crabs like to do this whole thing whilst outside of the water)but either way, when the crab's body is ready it will send out a kind or lumphatic fluid between the older layer and new layer

Fascinating, terrifying, and disgusting all at once. Crabs never cease to amaze me.

Growing up in Hawaii, we used to collect crab molts as kids. Some were PERFECT! But I’ve never witnessed its occurrence. Incredible. How vulnerable they are in this state.

Just wanted to say thank you for making a video for all of us and letting nature be nature. This was really neat!

This is wild to see I'm sure many of us here knew nothing about crabs molting! Thank you for this!

[Linkwii]

This one of those rare moments most humans never get to see in the wild. To actually be there and recording while crab do it business is another marvel achievement.

This is wild. In all my years in Maryland looking at blue crabs I have never witnessed this before. Thanks for sharing!

Everything in the ocean are straight up aliens. lol❤

[DrewJohnson-exjy]

This was absolutely amazing. I did not even know crabs did this.

Never seen a crab molt before and didn’t even know they could chirp like that.
You caught a cool moment.
Good stuff.

My father used to take us crabbing in a spot outside of New Orleans. We would bring home coolers full of blue crabs and I NEVER in my life saw this or knew it was possible! Great video! Thank you, it was educational and brought back childhood memories. R.I.P Daddy. ❤️

Crab: It smells like a new car in here!

[peaches]

WOW! Thanks for sharing this! I've never seen a crab do this! Very interesting and educational! I appreciate you sharing this with all of us! 👍 (I shared this with my daughters and grandchildren!)

I've lived on the Gulf coast all my life. I've never seen a crab molt before!!

[filescout]

I'm a crab and I've never seen a crab molt before, thanks for posting this video!
