emerald crab question?

[k9gunner]

Wht would cause my green emerald crab to turn white? I thought he was shedding, but it has looked like this for about 3 weeks?

Mine does the same thing. I posed this question also a while back, and it appears that this is quite normal.

I agree it is normal but I don't know the explanation why

Ok, that makes me feel better, I was worried because I have never seen a white one at the LFS, but both in my tank are white.

What type of substrate is in your tank?
