Do you remove shrimps moulted shells from the tank?

Hi guys,

while reading up on CRS on the link below:
http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/shrimp/crystalre.php

The part on feeding CRS, it says

"Always leave the moulted shells of your shrimps in the tank so they can eat them and get the calcium back."

How true is this? Do you remove the moulted shells?

Please share your experiences. For me, i do not.

Just leave them inside the tank and the shrimps can replemish their calcium from the moulted shells.

I usually clear them. Didn't really see the shrimps consumed them, more likely to be self disintegrated after a period of time.

I do see shrimps picking at the shells after the shell had been soaked for a few days and soften.

Thanks all for sharing! I shall just leave it inside. Good for the shrimps and save me the hassle to suck it out too!

Just leave them inside , Most of the shrimps will eat , yamatos will clear them very fast.

Just leave them in the tank. The shrimp will eat it. The moulted shell contain calcium
