cleaner shrimp and calcium?

so i have been away for two days... my roommate has been taking care of the tank. obviously i dont want him messing up anything so i didnt ask him to keep dosing.

now when i came home last night my cleaner shrimp was very sluggish and still being sluggish into today. I just dosed my calcium about an hour ago and now he is jumping around and playing with the tang like normal... is there a correlation between good calcium levels and invert/ coral behavior?

 

I have always heard that when they are molting regular (sign of good health) your Ca is fine. I would say that correlates. : )

yes i second that! he has been molting pretty much monthly

but my peppermint on the other hand hasnt molted for almost 2 months now :/

 

From my observations...my fire and cleaner shrimp molt frequent....and to tell ya the truth...I cant recall when my peps last molted...Hmmmm
Anybody know was'up'wit'dat?

when I had peps they hardly ever molted compared to my cleaners. Probably something they just dont do as frequently
