Funeral fit for a Crab

In the past couple weeks we have had two deaths in the family.  Shy the hermit crab came out of his shell and I thought it was cool that I was able to catch some pictures of him before he moved into his new shell.  Unfortunately, he was attacked by Brandt the crab while he was naked and ended up dying a day later.  Brandt was pretty traumatized and upset that Shy's friend had attacked him.  We thought it was our fault for not keeping him isolated while he was molting, but then a couple weeks later Brandt came out of his shell and then died.  So...we must have had something wrong with their habitat or something.  Of course, we had a funeral (for Shy anyway-buddy was still upset at Brandt for being a murderer so he just got flushed lol) and Brandt was heartbroken as he said some final words.  As the pictures show, Kylie was pretty chipper at the graveside service.
