My cleaner shrimp has been hiding for the past week or so. I can see him under a rock and he’s living but his antennas are pretty much gone. I’ve been spot feeding him to make sure he eats and he does. Any ideas?

He hid a day after he moltedIs he in the process of molting?
I do not. The only thing that might be picking at him is a yellow tang. But I’ve never seen itDo you have a hawkfish in the tank?
Good to hear! Thanks! I have a yellow tang in the tank so she might be the problem.A fish is probably nipping at his antenna. My cleaner shrimp molts every month, so yours will probably grow back!
I woke up this morning and the shrimp molted again and his antennas grew back. He’s acting normal now! Thanks everyone!
