Cleaner Shrimp Molted

[flight1201]

So I just picked up a couple of cleaner shrimp for my 120 gallon reef and one of them molted almost immediately (two days after placing in the tank). So here is my newbie question. Do I remove the molted shell pieces from the tank or let them be?

It doesn't really matter. Other than being unsightly it's not going to hurt anything.

Leave them. The shrimp eat them and reuse the calcium from the old shell.

I've never seen any of my invertebrates, touch a molted shell, let alone eat it.
I personally remove them

Same thing happened to me and the discarded disappeared slowly after a few days. I had a hermit, conch, and snail in there. Can't say who the culprit was but I prefer to not mess with the tank as much as possible so I'm glad someone took care of it. Either way the shrimp won't be upset if you take it out or let it be
