What would you do? QT question.

My Red Blood Fire Shrimp just shed his molt. He’s currently in a QT tank that has several corals and 1 anemone. Should I just leave the Fire Shrimp in the QT or go ahead and move him? He currently just hides under the tray. He doesn’t clean anything.

Also, on a side note, I have a pistol shrimp that just came out of a 76+ day QT. I’m just waiting on his watchman goby to come out of his QT.

I have lots of small tanks! Lol

All crustaceans need to hide for a couple of days after they shed. Their shell is very soft and needs time to harden. In my tank they instantly get eaten by bristle worms as soon as they shed. Leave him there.
