So my crayfish just shed his skin stuff lol. I remove the old stuff from the bottom right?
 
Don't remove it right away. Many will eat their old exoskeleton to reuse the nutrients in it. Mine ate his every time.
 
mine ate it in no time. dont take it out, it wont foul up the tank. recently i found just the claws molted and i had looked everyday for a month to find the rest of it and i dont think he ever did but the claw shells were gone within a week
 
Mine just molted today. He looks bigger.
