    Re: Molting Question

    It's good. Just means that it's growing.

    What are you talking about anyway? Crab/shrimp? How often is it molting? If it's doing it more often than once a month, you may be feeding more than necessary. Dosing/overdosing iodine can encourage a molt too BTW.

    My skunk cleaner shrimp molts every few weeks. I estimate its doubled in size in the 7-8 months since I got it.
