Shrimp molted now what??

[crzyfshygy]

Usually it moltes in an area where I can get to it and pull it out. This time its way behind the rock. Can I leave it there???? Will it produce nitrates???

as long as you have a good clean up crew it should be fine

Do not take the skeletons out, believe it or not the shrimp eat their shells to get calcium to be able to molt again. Leave it be.
