    Default Cleaner Shrimp

    I've had a cleaner shrimp in the tank for 8 days now. When I got it, one of its antennae or whiskers or whatever they are was short. I expected it to grow back. This morning I noticed something I thought for about 2 seconds was a dead shrimp, but shortly after I realized it had molted. To my surprise, its antennae had grown to the size of the rest. All of them are complete now. I was amazed this happened over night as I expected it to grow back slowly over time.

    BTW, are these guys territorial? He seems to have staked camp underneath the frogspawn.
