New Blood Shrimp Just Molted

He's only been in the tank for about 4 hours, is this a sign of stress or something I should be worried about? Or is this just coincidence and it's just from growth?

My pepermints molted when I put them in 2 months ago. They are still both alive and seem to be doing well.

Ive had many shrimp molt within a few days of introduction, I believe its a response to the acclimation to new water parameters. If you acclimated him properly and your water is good, he should be fine.

Yep, perfectly normal. It'll hide until the new exoskeleton hardens.

+1 I have had shrimp molt in the shipping bag before.
