    I woke up this morning around 10 thanks to there not being school [​IMG] turned on my actinic lights looked in my tank and saw the molted shell of my pepperment at first I thought he was dead, clowns were still swimming happily, then I saw the shrimp hanging under one of my rocks next to it swaying back and forth. My question is should I get out the molted shell if I can or would it be best to leave it be?

    Thanks-Robby

    I have never known it to hurt anything leaving it in the tank, and as Cindy said the crabs and others may benefit from eating it. If it were a dead animal I would say remove it as soon as you see it, but don't think this would be a problem
