clowns shedding skins

i had to take out all artificial decors this morning since i got a large clown stuck in one of the decors... having spent two hours sawing the decor, i decided to remove all of those with small holes and replaced them with pvc pipes... butt-ugly, but i guess it will do for the meantime...
while moving the decors, i found a large piece of what looked like skin inside one of the decors... it looked like a fillet of a clown loach, really, coz it still had the colors on the skin... all the clowns are accounted for so this cant be the remains of a dead loach... and this piece of skin smelled really, really bad...
anybody noticed something similar with their clowns?

I've found on the net that Dojo shed their skin, but nothing about clown loach

There's been some threads/interest in chemical defenses in Clowns, including slimy discharges during stress/transport and accumulations of stinky goo in areas of frequent hiding.
Interesting to hear that it had colour.
Sign up for grad-school and pursue.
