They are covered with a hard shell, which would otherwise prevent growth. The moult cycle is coordinated by <a href="/wiki/Hormone" title="Hormone">hormones</a>. When preparing for moult, the old shell is softened and partly eroded away, while the rudimentary beginnings of a new shell form under it. At the time of moulting, the crab takes in a lot of water to expand and crack open the old shell at a line of weakness along the back edge of the <a href="/wiki/Carapace" title="Carapace">carapace</a>. The crab must then extract all of itself – including its legs, <a href="/wiki/Arthropod_mouthparts" title="Arthropod mouthparts">mouthparts</a>, <a href="/wiki/Eyestalk" title="Eyestalk">eyestalks</a>, and even the lining of the front and back of the digestive tract – from the old shell. This is a difficult process that takes many hours, and if a crab gets stuck, it will die. After freeing itself from the old shell (now called an <a href="/wiki/Exuvia" class="mw-redirect" title="Exuvia">exuvia</a>), the crab is extremely soft and hides until its new shell has hardened.

This is primarily due to "The likelihood that decapod crustaceans can feel pain [which] is supported by the fact that they have been shown to have opioid receptors and to respond to opioids (analgesics such as morphine) in a similar way to vertebrates." Similarities between decapod and vertebrate stress systems and behavioral responses to noxious stimuli were given as additional evidence for the capacity of decapods to experience pain.<sup id="cite_ref-Pain_in_crustaceans_afa_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pain_in_crustaceans_afa-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2005 a review of the literature by the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety tentatively concluded that "it is unlikely that [lobsters] can feel pain," though they note that "there is apparently a paucity of exact knowledge on sentience in crustaceans, and more research is needed." This conclusion is based on the <a href="/wiki/Lobster" title="Lobster">lobster</a>'s simple nervous system. The report assumes that the violent reaction of lobsters to boiling water is a reflex response (i.e. does not involve conscious perception) to noxious stimuli.<sup id="cite_ref-Pain_in_crustaceans_Sømme_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pain_in_crustaceans_Sømme-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A <a href="/wiki/European_Food_Safety_Authority" title="European Food Safety Authority">European Food Safety Authority</a> (EFSA) 2005 publication<sup id="cite_ref-Pain_in_crustaceans_EFSA2005_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pain_in_crustaceans_EFSA2005-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> stated that the largest of decapod crustaceans have complex behaviour, a pain system, considerable learning abilities and appear to have some degree of awareness.
