my cleaner shrimp molted or shedded its skin or whatever. I have a tank with NO LR and NO LS. CC substrate. Do I leave the shedded skin in the tank or take it out?
 
Up to you, not necessary as most inverts will eat their own molts for nutrients, I believe to aid in hardening their new exoskeletons. Believe its a source of calcium for the invert. wont hurt anything. I leave all invert molts in the tank and if the molting invert doesnt eat it themselves the cleaner crew takes care of it.
