it's good.
leave it in for a bit, and let them nibble on it for a couple of days. it provides calcium. then you can remove it.

i have about 50 shrimp and see 2- 10 molts every day. seems normal since they are growing and very active. and i leave it in because they do enjoy eating it. nature sure is gross.
yer its a good sign. just leave the moled skin/shell in there as it is a good sorce of putting calcium back in there system as they like to eat it.
