Cleaner shrimp eggs??

[ZooZ]

I got a cleaner shrimp recently and he just shed his skin. Should i remove it from the tank? Also he has some green stuff under his belly. Light green in colour. What is it?

You can either leave the molt or take it out, it is not really going to do anything either way.

The green you are seeing is most likely a new egg mass, for more info on the care and breeding of shrimp species, please see my shrimp page.

HAHA I love that mated Harlequin Shrimp couple! They're adorable sitting atop their starfish together like that. <3
