A rotting dead hermit crab typically exhibits a discolored, often darkened shell, with visible signs of decay such as mold or a foul odor. The meat inside may appear slimy, and the eyes or antennae can show signs of deterioration or detachment. The shell may also be empty or partially filled with decomposing matter, attracting insects or other scavengers. Overall, the crab's once vibrant colors are replaced by dull, murky tones.
