Has anyone seen shrimp eat their own molten shell

[concepts88]

Has anyone visually seen their shrimps eat their own molten shells? Or fish eating it, cories?

Because the molts are on the bottom of my tank and I don't see anyone touching them.

I often see shrimp and snails eating them. Sometimes they sit there a while then all the sudden they disappear. I'd figure it's a good source of calcium for them.

I see my shrimp eat them all the time.

Eaten by the shrimp

It generally takes a couple days before they start munching. Probably too crunchy when freshly molted or something.

All the time!
