What a surprise!
Last night I was really upset. Came home from a long day at at work and sat down in front of my tank to relax a bit and gasped. Bummer my my banded shrimp who had been hiding was dead. Looked really icky to. Disappointed about the poor guy, but really worried that maybe my 4 month old tank had some kind of ich in it. But to my surprise three hours later guess who peaked about from behind a rock....yep my banded shrimp. It was really cool never knew they shed themselves.........:-)

 Freshly peeled shrimp are great with cocktail sauce.  Inverts don't catch ich Doadster so that is not a problem. Hiding is common in inverts that shed as they know the fish are making feast plans until they regain their exoskeleton that protects them.

If I can tack onto the original post, how often do coral banded shrimp or other inverts shed their skin?

I had the same experience 2 nights ago, only I have not seen him out yet, but I'm pretty sure is was only a shedding, I didn't know they molted untill I did some reading up after I found it and thought it was dead
