Can be. Stress and different water can cause a molt. Any shrimp I have ever had always seem to molt in the first week added to my tank.

Water change today, clean out my filter and filter media...adjust my temperature on the heater, check my salinity...

Yesterday my tank was 8 weeks old so i went to some aquatic shops to see what was on offer. I bought a boxing shrimp (yellow and orange), a halloween crab and a small xenia. Not bad for £50. Not seen the halloween crab yet this morning.

Im right behind u, my tank is 7 weeks old,, but I moved kind of fast , I slowed down alot, I have 5 fish,2 clowns, royal gramma,6 line wrasse, orange spot goby, cuc....15 hermits crabs,4 snails...tank doing great, , but I slowed down a bit

Tommy081708 · 07/13/2014, 10:05 AM

Some live rock for the cycling 29 gallon bowfront.
FINALLY got my absolute favorite fish, the Niger trigger. So far so good in the reef!
Interesting little diamond goby, some bright orange pavona and a pulsing xenia. Red sea pom pom to be specific. With the good comes the bad, a tragic death of my first fish, a coral beauty who wouldn't eat. It was inevitable, she wouldn't eat anything I put in the tank.

I switch it up between spirulina, angel formula, brine, and mysis. All frozen. Angels are finicky eaters for sure, I have a flame angel as well but he's doing great. That trigger is a beast, he eats whatever, starts biting the turkey baster as soon as it enters the water lol. Just make sure your fish aren't the same colors and shape and you shouldn't have a problem.

jco1856 · 07/13/2014, 03:45 PM

Got a Starcki Damsel from the lfs yesterday. Was being harassed by my kole tang yesterday. Woke up this morning and saw it had some nipped fins, but is pretty much out in the open and a lot less aggression going on

depends, I dont think gobies have problems with each other, they're relatively docile to the best of my knowledge. What I said is more for angels, tangs, triggers, and more aggressive fish.
