Skunk Cleaner Molting

[petoonia]

I have had 2 skunk cleaner shrimp for about 2 months. In this amount of time I have found about 7 molts. Is this normal? They are getting huge!

Sounds normal to me.

Mine molt about every two weeks. The more you feed them the faster they'll grow and molt. They also need iodine to molt and I think I read somewhere that high iodine levels in the tank will cause them to molt more often.
