What do you do with the molted shell of a cleaner shrimp

[jeromefong]

My cleaner shrimp has molted. I assume this is good and means they are growning. What am I suppose to do with the molted shell? Should I leave it in the tank, or do I need to take it out. :?:

thanks,

Leave it in the tank...it will disappear shortly.

You can take it out or leave it..It wont hurt your tank.

Leave it in for two days. The cleaner shrimp eats the shell to regain nutrients lost in the process of molting, but if he hasn't eaten it all by the end of the two days, go ahead and take it out.
