Taking it off

Today the cleaner shrimp moulted. It means its growing. When shrimps moult, they shed their shell which has become to small for it and then for a period of time, it will stay in hiding because its new skin is still soft and will take time to harden during which it is very vulnerable to attacks. One of the key elements for healthy moulting of shrimps is the prescences of iodine in the water. Iodine helps their new 'skin' harden.

Thre's quite abit going on. I started a thread on the forum discussing the ill side effects of this chemical media i've used and have subsequently removed. Wonder what other reefers will comment.

The clam looks so succulent I feel like eating it.
