Default Frogspawn

Hi, the other day the molted skin of my cleaner shrimp was sitting on my frogspawn. I thought nothing of it until I later looked at the spot where the skin was sitting and the tentacles were clear instead of their normal color. Is this bad?

I leave my shrimp molting in the tank for fish etc. to pick on as it is basically calcium!!!! No harm either way!
Oh, by the way Matt, you don't eat the shell!!!!LOL

Expect the molted skin blocked light ... should recover in day or so.
