CapsAzN Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 looks like a Molt to me...hard to say though I suppose it's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Molt is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I vote molt also, the tail should be very substantial that looks just like a thin exoskeleton. The front parts can be deceiving as the exoskeleton is very thick on the front legs, claws and thorax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Reefer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Question. Is the LPS eating the molt or dd it just land there and is just sitting on top of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 i'm still convinced that my dendro ate my peppermint shrimp, even though it could have been a molt. but he's tried to eat me when i get to close with his shrimp, so who knows. the exoskelteon was in his mouth a few hours after i saw the shrimp steel food from it and no freshly molted peppermint ever showed back up. granted, this could just be wishful thinking on my part so i can say my dendro is a bad a**. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
