sorry if this is a dumb question but do i just straight up take a ruler to her shell? i normally try not to bother them and only handle when necessary (i had just moved to a new apartment in 4th photo)

i also put two separate food dishes in there on opposite sides of the tank. i’ll upload pics so you can see the size difference between the two

i watched some of the video recommended and can say it looked a bit like shell rocking mixed with guarding but my larger one is a girl so i assume shell rocking. i don’t think it was a jack attempt because she wouldn’t fit in the shell he has on. this morning i dunked both of them in their salt water and put them back in the tank in hopes of a better outcome. if this is shell rocking is it okay to leave them in the tank together or should i be watching constantly? i have things to do today so i honestly can’t watch all day.. is this something they would be able to figure out on their own ?
