shrimp shedding shell?

[bmw545]

I have four Peppermint shrimp and today I found a clear shell of wht looks like a shrimp. Is that normal?

One of them molted. Normal.

Yup...its the remains of a molt...they shed their outside skeleton whenever they grow....especially common with new additions.

thanks. Should I remove the shell?

You don't have to. I leave them in. It'll be gone in a day anyway.
