Decorator crab molted?

[OpTiCz]

Just wondering if my crab is dead, or molted.
Notice a bunch of red leg hermits hanging out by his shell.
Flipped it over, trap door open.

It's hard to tell with the picture.. But might be a molt IMO

All I can say is keep your eyes open for him... If you don't see him soon he's probably a goner.

I pulled it and it stinks.
I think I have my answer.
