Leave it or can it. I let mine rot. And it's called a "Molt".

No, Not enough to notice and your cleanup crew should clean it right up.

Yep, leave it in there. It's part calcium etc. also so your shrimp may start to snack on it. My hermit crabs and coral banded shrimp all molt once a month...I don't even bother to pick the shells out anymore. By the end of the week, they're usually eaten already.
