Just found this interesting... I was looking in my 20, which I had just added some floating plant to, and I spotted something white in the plant. After closer inspection, it was the front half of a ghost shrimp. I was afraid I had lost my little friend, but then I saw him moving around nearby. I looked again, and realized: My little friend had molted! I didn't realize he would do this, but I guess that makes sense figuring he's an invertabrate.
That night, I was looking at my indigenous tank, and lo and behold, there was my crayfish, hiding on the opposite side of his cave from his molt. He had been holing himself in more and more over the past week, I just didn't realize the signs. He hasn't eaten the exoskeleton yet, I'll post pictures in the morn if I get time.
Just thought I'd let ya'll know about my newest adventure!

... I loved him too, he was such a survivor.
