Thought this was my dead emerald. Then saw both of them on my rocks. Turns out one of them is a lot bigger now! He molted!

I thought the same thing about my coral banded shrimp, saw what I thought was my shrimp lifeless caught between some rock. I then saw the real shrimp back hiding in his usual spot just fine. The molt came off in one piece and looked just like the shrimp antennae and all.
