Does my cleaner shrimp molt too much?

He molts about three times a month, it's insane. And creepy looking. This is bad, right? What do I do?

Its not a bad thing if the shrimp is healthy. They molt when they grow, so apparently he is eating very well. Mine have molted 2 times in a month but on an average once a month. But I only have one fish and I dont allow a ton of exess food to float around.

He does eat a lot, and is really healthy, always swimming around and cleaning things.
Thanks!!
