A few quick questions

[freedeemed]

1) My coral banded shrimp recently 'shed' his whole body, is this normal?
2) Since then, my CBS has dropped both of its claws, is this normal?
3) My tank has some brown that grows along the live rock and some of the glass, I've been told its 'diatoms,' do I need to get rid of it? If so, how?
Thanks guys!

1. It's a molt and very normal, remove the molt.
2. don't know but will grow them back. Might be some concern in both being gone.
3. Diatoms are in every new tank and should go away. Mine were gone in 4 days. Some take weeks.
Good luck
