When the get to big for there shell the find anew one. They have to do the process really quick because there shell is what protects them. When a fiddler crab is to big for his shell he gets another one. He or she has to do the process very quickly. If he doesn't then most likely he will die. He will die because he or shes shell protects them from predetors.
