Benchmarking is a process used to compare products, services, processes, and organizations that might require improvement against known internal or external leaders. There are two types of benchmarking: competitive benchmarking and technical benchmarking.
The megalopa later moults into a stage one crab. Stage one crabs are only about 4 mm wide, but frequent moults mean that they grow very quickly. It is thought that wild mud crabs grow to around 10 cm in width in about a year and become sexual mature in about two years.The typical life span of a mud crab is thought to be three to four years.he megalopa later moults into a stage one crab.

Really tiny crabs may take only days or weeks to molt (One of mine molted within two days). They will mostly likely molt about four to ten times a year. Any larger than a baseball, it could take longer than four-seven months. However this will occur about once to twice every two years. All of this is approximate, use it to determine around how long your crab(s) will take to molt, as well as how often. Also, if you have more then one crab(which is reccommended) remember to isolate them from the other hermit crabs during this time period.
