It doesn't look like shell rot but I'm not positive. I just moved him to a 90 gallon tank that he has all to himself with lots of wood ect. It is by a window and tends to get algae on the windows but I do have a turbo twist on the filter
so I'm not sure it the staining is actually algae on him? Any thoughts would be appreciated! My water tests are all normal. Also he lost his front large claws that were stuck for 3 days in his last molt because as I was trying to help him he jerked backwards and ripped them off. They are growing back but he hasn't molted since. Not sure if he can't without his large claws? I feed him frozen shrimp, bloodworms, sinking pellets and algae wafers along with carrot. Thanks in advance!
