Wierd as ****

Even its orange eyes and feelers were there. It sound terrible. But im happy im not the only person this has happened to. EWWW FREAKY!
 
My first molt was a coral banded shrimp. He left his molt standing on the right side of the tank and he was on the left. My first thought was that he had cloned himself. At any distance, I couldn't tell the molt from the critter, unless the critter moved.
 
Thats my point. I wouldnt of been able to tell the difference either.Just as you said , like a clone.
 
Its gross but fasinating.,
