Shedding Shrimp!

[spafeature]

:help: Just brought home my first clown and a pink lady cleaning shrimp.
Just noticed shrimp has shed his skin---is that normal?

 

[vtecbro007]

yea its normal its called molting they do it quite often

Once the skin comes off entirely, don't mistake it for a dead shrimp, hehe. Sounds silly, but it is very easy to do, especially if you are new

So do hermit crabs!

Do I take it out of the tank or leave it?
Thanks!

Leave it ..... good snack for the other critters.

Ever wonder why critters eat each others' molts, but not their own...boggle.
