Hermitt crab shell jacking last night what to do next?

Hello! Last night I had a bit of a scare. My hermit crab was found naked above the surface and his shell was near the other hermit crab turned up. Wasnt sure so I made a post last night. Someone concluded it must of been shell jacking. I put him in a quarantine tank last night with everything needed. Put 3 shells 2 new ones and his old one. Extremely quickly after he was in one of the new ones. Left it for the old one not too long after that (I know they can be picky lmao) im going to order way more shells for them so they have a variety but untill then is it ok to put them together again im worried so hes currently still in the quarantine tank. (Which is a tubaware) Thats mainly my only concern currently and I'm glad he quickly made it back into his shell. Right now im going to add more food in there with him originally i had put some coconut flakes I assumed he was tired and lethargic.

Yup, now that they both have their own shells it should be fine to put them back together! Just make sure to continue providing plently alternative shells for them!
