This morning I saw my cleaner shrimp active, left the house and found this. I am thinking its a molt because there is no meat insideand I know they hide after molting. The only hideout that I cannot see into is a big cave made by my yellow watchman goby. Is it possible that the goby ate the molted shrimp whilst the exoskeleton is soft or its a possibility thatbits hiding inside the goby cave ?
 
Looks like a molt. Mine usually disappears around molting time. Sometimes for a day or two.
