question about porcelain crabs

First of all..after all the reading up on them ,I had no idea they shed there shell..
but when I got home from work today I noticed an extra crab on the live rock..
I thought it was dead at first but there was 2 more crabs right beside the shell..lol
I realized he shed it..but my question is ,it has floated to a real hard spot in my tank to get at it with messing up all my live rock to get at it...
can I leave it in there or do I need to get it out???

thanks Clint

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
