Is this ghost shrimp dead or is it molting? Would like to know before I remove from tank. I don't want to remove one that's not dead. Please answer. Thanks

Sorry, but it looks dead to me. IME molting is a very quick process, literally just a few seconds and the shrimp will 'jump' out of its old shell. You can also tell by how white he is, Ghost shrimp will turn a very white and milky color when they die

When they turn white or pink, they are dead, they should always be clear, if molting, they shouldnt even turn white
