molting blue lobster
hey was just wondering how long it would take for my blue lobster to finish regrowing his outer shell... funny thing i thought he was dead inside his little cave so i picked it up and the shell fell out.. needless to say i was mad at first but then saw his antennas moving inside, also should i remove his old shell or leave it in there, i know that lobsters in the ocean actually eat there old one

Re: molting blue lobster
I would just leave the shell in there. He should eat it.

Re: molting blue lobster
Look into getting a ammonia remover product for your filter. Some times this can be caused by left over food or fish waste decaying in the substrate. I run inot this problem every so offten in my smaller aquariums.
