Little lobster

[jshades2734]

Hey guys i just bought a little dwarf lobster. What will it look like when it molts? And will the molt get picked up by the filter? Thanks guys!!

Do you have a picture of it? Is it a lobster or a dwarf crayfish? When most invertebrates molt, their exoskeleton looks like a translucent version of themselves, it's pretty neat. It may get picked up by the filter or eaten by other things in the tank, but if you see it, you might as well scoop it out.

I would leave the molt in. My RCS which also molt eat it to regain trace elements and such.
