One of them just came up yesterday, as if it new I was making this post! Sadly the other two have yet to be seen, I am not certain if they have come up in the amount of time that I consider them to be MIA, I just find it concerning that I haven't seen any trace of them in almost seven months.

Hello, Unfortunately it's been several months since I've seen any of my crabs on the surface... they are still small so this well exceeds the amount of time they would take to molt.
