white/transparent shrimp shells

[wfc31]

Just bring in some cherries shrimps, found that there are some white or transparent shrimp shells after a few days, is it a dead shrimp?

I have made a moss wall for them using green plastic mesh, but seem like the moss wall not well made, got shrimps trap at the rear in between the green plastic mesh and aquarium glass, any solution for this?

ur shrimps are probably moulting away their old shells...

u mean they are changing to new shell? Just for example, they growing bigger and the small "cloth" need to be changed?

That's right, shrimps have exoskeleton, they need to rid of the old shell to grow.
