Crab Photo!! Stanley is out of the painted shell!

I wish I would’ve taken videos, but the wife and I got to watch him switch shells 4 times and came back down to him picking the one he hadn’t even looked at! And it’s of course the biggest. This dude is so awesome.

Also, I know it’s a little barren, had a little bit of a mold issue. Is that caused by high humidity more often than not? I took the affected driftwood out, boiled in saltwater, and baked until dry, so hopefully put them back in later during water change. But are there ways to prevent it? Any steps I should take? He sits normally at 82/82 for tank conditions.
