Found at the water line during low tide. No shell. Found a moon snail shell and set it in, it stayed in the shell for a few minutes then got right back out and kept crawling around. Set a couple other shell options around it but it didn't seem interested.

No sé porqué estan de color rosa, todas estan muertas y no son exuvias
La artemia suele agarrar colores rojos/rosas al consumir halobacterias (las mismas que le dan el color rosa a las coloradas)
Quizás estas larvas consumieron artemias con los pigmentos rosas?
