So I just watch one of my anemone crabs molt... Usually don't see them do it so that was pretty cool to watch.
What do you do with the exoskeleton when u see it in there? Leave it or pull it? I'm just curious about general thoughts. Thanx

I pull the crab/shrimp molts if I feel like it or if they look bad- otherwise if i cant reach I just leave in the tank. They seem to break down pretty quickly.
