It means he is growing fast. What size tank is it?

I would say its a good thing. Unlike my cleaner shrimp that disappeared a month ago...

Lol thanks for that Gabe! Seth it's in a 29 gallon, it's molt makes me jump because it always gets stuck to my power head and I think he got sucked in.

Definitely get rid of it. I'd be happy to stick it in my tank for "research"!

That would be like the hulk handing himself over to the general no way!

I have 2 in my 75 and they molt about once a week.

These shrimp are definitely eating well, I believe.

Wow! It means he's growing fast. How big is it?

It's still pretty small.

I've read they need proper levels of iron to molt regularly so it's probably a good bet that yours is high enough!
