 Molting/shells

one of my hermit crabs changed shells a few days ago. i got it a day before and bought it a few unpainted shells.it’s legs were poking out alot and it looked restless. then i checked the next morning and i saw it in it’s new shell! do they need to molt or do they just change shells? now it can fully put it’s legs in it’s shell and looks alot better.

I think they can just switch.

molting and changing shells are different things. most molt and go into the same shell [at least for me]
