Hello, I'm pretty sure one of my shrimps molted and the molt is partially in my torch.( Unless it looks like something else) All my shrimps are still alive. Anyways, should I try to pry it out or just let it be? Thank you.

It does look like it could be a shrimp molt, but my immediate thought is that trying to remove it may cause more damage, as it appears to be lodged in its mouth and not just resting on it. That could be incorrect thinking, and hopefully someone will provide more information, but I would leave it for the time being.
 
I had to go to work, and left it. Hoping it'll be out in 9 hours when I get home.
