hi everyone i'm new to both this forum and shrimp keeping I really like this forum it is very informative my question is why do shrimp bend themselves in half? my ghost shrimp do this a lot. does it mean anything or are they just chillin?

I have seen shrimp bend in half when cleaning themselves and as a prelude to molting. They also may just be chilling.

I was hoping that was what is going on either molting or just chillin cause they seem to enjoy that pose a lot! lol
