Did my shrimp have a bad molt?

I woke up this morning and found that my skunk cleaner had molted during the night.
There are no unusual markings on his body anywhere although I noticed that his anteneas are a quarter of the lenght they were b4 the molt and he's hiding alot more than normal.
Another problem I have is that one of the other shrimps just out of the blue has decided 2 keep chasing the freshly molted shrimp all over the place.
whats going on?

Your shrimp is trying to get out of Dodge until his new exoskeleton hardens.
The others know he's weak and easy prey.

what about the shorter antenaes, is this bad? he molts about 2 times per month, I've had him for 3 or 4 months and this is the first time his antenaes have come out of the molt shorter.
any ideas?
