    HI,
    Not sure if this ia a problem but my fire shrimp isn't re-growing his feelers I was wondering if this a calcium deficieny? I have been adding small amount of Iodine after he turned pale. he feeds well and loves the frozen food I use. He hangs out in the live plants in the back of the tank. I use a Coralife skimmer and a sump DSb fish only 55gal OP. 20 gal sump, he seems real clummsy to me.I ve noticed many of the inverts seem to like a higher spec grav 1.024 to 1.025 ..
    little worried
    I ve seen that aragramilk locally for adding CA and many trace elements is this a good product , Not quite ready to buy a CA generator.

    Well. It is probably due to a problem while molting. With proper levels the feelers should come back after a few molts.
