cleaner shrimp shedding

[vonG]

man, this dood sheds a lot.
I've had the tank for close to three months, and this is the fourth time he's shed his carcass.

how frequently are you guys seeing exoskeletons blown about your tanks?

That sounds about right, from my experience.   They grow pretty fast, and their shells don't stretch along with them.  I regularly get creeped out by a "shrimp ghost" floating by the front of my tank.

Mind tend to grow & molt in spurts... one month it'll be 3 times, and then not again for 1 or 2 months.
