the more I read up on it the more I think it is molting. I've seen the shrimp molt, and they shed a layer that I can see through. Never seen an emerald molt, so I didn't know what to do. everything was there, legs, claws, body, etc. Didn't look like there was anything in it though.

Thanks for the help guys

+1 for moulting. Click link for more info and a video.
When crab and shrimp molt the exoskeleton falls apart more easily than when the animal dies in its exoskeleton.

Are you sure it didn't molt?

I would keep a look out for him and see if he just happened to molt.
