unlike human skin, the shrimp outer shell cannot grow, so as the animal grows, it sheds the old layer while a new exoskeleton develops. Nothing to worry about.
to my shock! i saw 1 shrimp shell on the bottom of the tank, head count the shrimp, all tally. i assume shrimp grow by breaking old shell.
Q : is this a good thing or bad thing? ( dun know if any other effect courses the shrimp to break out the shell )

Can be good or bad thing.
Bad thing -> you got some serious predators inside that feed purely on shrimp flesh and not shells
Good thing -> your shrimps are growing well and need to change shells since the shells do not grow, just like a snake [:] [:]
... always look at the bright side of life
your shrimps are growing and should be fine.
I have that all the time

i always fighting algae but still got more
This is the molting process and it is completely natural and necessary for your shrimps to grow. Nothing to worry about. But at this time, the shrimp is at it weakest, so if there any predators in the tank, it may be attacked.
if shrimps are eaten, everything will be gone, you will not see an empty shell.
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
