Try not to worry. (Easier said than done - I know!) Micros can go into back to back molts. When you take that, with the fact that crabs are nocturnal- he/she is probably fine!

Have faith... some crabs just like spending a lot of time underground. It may be that the locality from which they were taken was a really hot & arid zone, and being underground a lot is a learned self preservation thing... or they may just dig being underground (sorry for the pun :P ).

My first micro I saw only 5 times the first year I had him, always in the middle of the night in the food dish. At that size their only goal in life is to grow bigger as fast as possible. They spend almost all their time prepping to molt, noting, or recovering from molting.

Es do molt out of the blues fairly quickly. Probably a combo of age and diet as there have been a few crabbers who have had large blue Es
