Cleaner shrimp molts

[Jojo1628]

I see that my cleaner molts like twice every month, should you clean up that molt or let it be in the tank?? I've left it there, so far nothing has happen...hopefully it's okay...

I always take mines out, i don't like the sight of a empty shell floating around the tank. You could leave it in if you like, it causes no harm.

My bristle worms like to snack on the molted skin.Sometimes I pull it,sometimes I dont.

I never take the shells out. They get eaten within a day.

Oh great to hear everything shuold be fine if I leave it there then...they just kinda disappeared in a few days, wasn't sure if they are hurting the water quality, but I'm just lazy to take it out, also don't want to cause too much drama for my other fishes...also just btw to note here, I love my cleaner shrimp, every time I put my hand in there, the little fella swims after my hand and jump on it to start picking on it...pretty cool...

i take it out when its convenient and no effort required. But if its hard to reach, i dont bother.
