the inside of his tail turned white, hes laying upside down, and his feet are still moving.. he also moved from one spot to another while doing this, although i didnt actually see him move myself. Do they lay on their backs when they molt, or is he just croaking?
Is my ghost shrimp molting or dying?

I've never actually seen ghost shrimp during the molt, but that doesn't sound good. I know with SW shrimp, they don't lay down at all. I'd keep a watch on it--and keep in mind that ghost shrimp aren't the longest lived shrimp out there. A year and a half is about average, and without anyway to know how old is was when purchased, it's a tough call.
