Never saw a shrimp molt, until now!

I’ve had saltwater tanks for 20 years and never was able to catch a shrimp molt. Usually they seem to hide when they do it. But also, it happens fast! Sorry for the poor quality, it’s zoomed in from a Wyze cam.

Not sure if my video shows up above. I uploaded to YouTube.

That looks like it must feel so satisfying. Like taking off your boots after a long day but the shrimp version lol

Thanks for sharing. I always have shrimp but have never witnessed the molt in progress either. Very cool!

The crabs made quick work of the molt. Pretty much gone 30 minutes later.

Cool! Never witnessed it happening before -- just find molts later.
