peppermint shrimp molted or died?

i got 5 peppermint shrimp the other day and i noticed that there is what looks like a complete shrimp skeleton or body.
ill try and get a pic of it but just a description is that it is clear colored and you can see thru it easily.
it is a complete piece antenae and all.
all the shrimp are hiding under the rocks, i do see them but cant see em all at once to count them
any ideas? molt or dead.

and it means your tank is in good shape
well thanks thats good news.
all parameters are good except nitrate, i need to do a water change soon.
i got a hundred turbos and a hundred blueleg hermits 12 cerrith snails and 5 peppermint shrimp to combat the end of a green hair and diatom outbreak.
i finally got a refillable di cartridge set up and am getting a zero reading on my new water so hopefully with a water change itll be the end for the algae.
i might be looking for a home for 50 or so turbos so they dont starve to death in my tank.
