nope, I would take it out. Some people leave it in, but in a smaller tank like yours where it could fluctuate the levels, I would take it out. I think liveaquaria also suggests you take it out.....at least it is some other site similar to liveaquaria.

I personally leave it in, it becomes food and will be gone within a couple of days.

Thanks Cary, I had already taken it out by this morning. Thanks for everyones help!! It was in the way of where the CBS feels at home... Oddly, the molt was still attached to the rock, so I removed it, and the CBS moved right back into his home. Thanks again for everyones help!
