I woke up this morning to see my coral banded remains sitting on top of the collector urchin. Initially, I panicked, but after realizing that the carapice did not have a "meat" to it, I decided that it was a molt.

But do coral banded shrimp molt their claws as well, I still have a thought in the back of my head...

The Whole Body Legs Tentacles Claws Everything. I Been It Your Shoes And I Almost Pooped My Pants When I Saw It. But When The Shrimp Came Out He Was Nice And Shinny. My Lobster Just Molted You Got To See That Shell It Looks Just Like Another Lobsters In The Tank

I was lucky enough to witness this occurence in action, one of my two cleaner shrimp did this right in front of me...I thought I was seeing things at first...I was like did my Shrimp just clone itself...it literally stepped out of its shell so fast it looked like I had two of them sitting side by side...

I had a coral banded (Mean too), he lost an arm (so I thought), he molted and was back as good as new, Does yours chase your fish at all?
I swore mine got a fire fish as well as a damsel

yea, his whole body was in one piece, being hoisted around by my collector urchin, and I was freaked out. Then I saw the antennae in a different part of the tank.
