Yeah, now that we have a clear picture it is definitely just part of the shell

I noticed their eye stalks are a little separated.
I wouldn't worry about that :)

Yes, I agree with Joe, that photo is clear that the orange is part of the shell.

And people can argue or debate one method over another, but as HCA mods we have been crabbing a long time, and can assure you that no matter what some groups say, there is no evidence to support PPDS or any other method. Nothing has been shown to increase survival rates, not acclimating gradually or trying to get crabs to eat prior to molting, etc.
