Default Shrimp Moulting - Scared Feller

Hey guys. I did a search on Shrimp Molting and found some good info. Still unsure about my shrimp and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this.

2 Shrimps and 1 molted. Hes been in hiding for the last few days. When I feed he does not come out and I dont see him eat. The other shrimp has been scurrying around the tank scraping up what he can get. I feed teh animal 2 time a day once in morning once in evening.

I searched google and came up with some stuff. They like to mate after molting and the first one to molt sometimes becomes the female. Maybe thats why he/she is hiding.

All my Params seem fine. I test water every day as I am sort of new to this making sure I dont miss anything. water changes once a week and temps range between 78-82. I have a Aquapod 24 with 1 damsel and one chromis, 3 snails, 2 tiny crabs.

Hope the little feller is alright.
