Cleaner Shrimp Question?

[Mike 1911A1]

I recently added two cleaner shrimp to my tank. I noticed last night when the lights went out they wer fighting. When I checked this morning I noticed a shrimp head, legs and tenticles...I thought one had died but both shrimp are still in the tank and appear fine. Do these shrimp shed or molt? Should I have only added one...They don't seem to be fighting anymore..Maybe just a dominance thing. Any advice is appreciated.

2 together should be ok. And yes...they molt

Yes the shrimp molt with proper parameters in the water.

if you're lucky, you have a male and a female who were courting and will make lots of babies so your other fish can be well fed.

Lysmata cleaner shrimp are hermaphrodites, so they will both breed.
