Molting Cleaner shrimp?

[RTKBA308]

One of my shrimp molted, do I remove it or is it food for crabs?

i let the crabs take care of it, it doesn't contain enough of anything to harm anything

I usually remove it but you don't have to. Kind of scary the first time you see that isn't it?

Yeah, I only saw half of it at first and thought a crab had a nice meal. Then I saw both of my cleaners climbing around.

I ended up taking it out.

My girl freakd out the first time the cleaner molted and woke me up atr 5:45 am to take care of it (I bartend and get home at
3:00am) and woke me up to see my CBS eating the molt and not the cleaner. I was amused yot frustrated weird eh?
