 |  Shrimpy is Dead!!!
... came the frantic text message from my wife while I was out playing beach volleyball yesterday.
She is new to the whole aquarium thing and didn't realize that shrimp molt  |

My wife (Bogey977) said the same thing when she saw our skunk cleaner shrimp's molted empty shell. It's tough to explain, so I used the "soft-shelled crab" comparison - but she didn't know what soft-shelled crabs were either  ... so I did the long, detailed explanation _________  | |
