Shrimp struggling to molt

[jonewald]

My cleaner shrimp has been attempting to molt since late morning today, but it hasn't finished shrugging off its old exoskeleton yet. It appears to be struggling very hard to push off the old shell of its legs and abdomen. Is there anything that I can do to help it at all?? Help!!

i would not try to help him, i noticed that when i do a water change my shrimp molts.. maybe that just mine tough. hows your calcium?

Water change was done the day before it tried to molt. Calcium is 400ppm.

The shrimp didn't make it.
