When a shrimp regenerates his skeleton(they have an exterior skeleton) for a newer, brighter one. In simpler terms, when human get a very strong tan, they peal, and new skin under the pealed skin is healthy looking and new. Same thing with the shrimps. They throw away their outside skeleton to a newer skeleton they have grown under, its the way they grow and achieve brighter colors. _________ *Since 12/2002 40 gal. 85 lbs live rock. 3" fiji Live sand.wet dry filter and prizm protein skimmer. 192 power compacts
