Default Missing shrimp turns up!!!

About a week ago one of my 4 shrimps "disappeared" i searched the tank as best i could but no shrimp, there are so many hiding places in the tank i thought he was prob in there somewhere.
yesterday i did my usual water change and opened up the filter box which is in the lid of the tank and lo there staring up at me was missing shrimp"!!! and he was huge!! he had almost doubled in size lol.
I'm still puzzled how he got there in the first place, the intake tube for the filter has small slits at the bottom but there is no way a shrimp could have got through (or so i thought!!)

Are these Armano shrimp?

Sounds like they were moulting, they jump up a shoe size or two
