I noticed this morning that my two large Cleaner Shrimp molted last night. It led me to wonder if this was just coincidence, or if there was something else behind it. They might just like to do things together. It does not appear to be moon position, as the new moon is not until Friday, and the two small shrimp in the adjacent tank were not involved. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. :arrow: :question: :confused:

Mine molt regularly, about once a month. They also seem to hatch their eggs just before the molt, filling the tank with larvae. The other inhabitants love it...

They have molted on the same day, but not always.
