Shrimp molting

[Reef Tank Engineer]

I was wondering what everyone does with the molted shell after, leave it to dissolve or remove it.

If I see it & can get too it I usually remove it.

I leave it, it usually goes thru a powerhead.

I always remove any molts I see. I find as they break down they create quite a bit of unsightly debris. But I guess it is a matter of personal opinion really.

I usually fish them out and throw them in the garbage. They just look gross clinging to the powerheads.

Lately though I've been thinking about saving them up and mailing them to Rick Santorum.
