You can leave it in the tank. Something will make a meal of it or it will break down on it's own with no problems.

My cleaner shrimp once molted in my tank. The next thing I saw was my emerald crab eating it.

I don't know, maybe it has calcium.

like Tippy said, you can leave it in there if you wish.
