My reef lobster, Mr. Pinchey, molted for the second time since I acquired him from Boun. I was surprised he molted again so soon. Unfortunately he had a bad molt and lost his right claw. From the reading I've done my iodine levels are probably too low. I also suspect that my calcium levels are too high. I had let calcium drift up to 550 and am starting to have problems with condensate. He had been looking a little too white.
The good news is that he should grow back the claw with a couple of molts. I really hope he doesn't lose the other one. His discard shell was also significantly larger than the previous one so apparently I have been feeding him enough (or too much).
