    Hi Andy, Thanks for taking the time to do a Molt Search! It sounds like you did find some crabs/molts while you were out there, but no photo came through on our end (and it recorded “No Molts Found”). This happens sometimes in the app if it’s been closed and reopened–sorry for the glitch! If you did find molts and have a photo you could share, we can make that update on our end; just send along a photo as a reply to this email if it’s handy. Thanks! Lisa
