My scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp molted last night. Do I need to worry about getting his old exoskeleton out of the tank?

Follow up!!
How often is "normal" for a shrimp to molt? I got this guy on 9/14, he molted 9/20, and again last night (9/29). Are weekly cleaner shrimp molts a regular thing or is mine just eating his Wheaties?
