Iodine for shrimp

[Fathog02]

Hi all! I’m in the process of adding a few shrimp to my tank. Do you add any iodine supplements for them?

Thanks, Dave

I do dose and iodine supplement. Lugol’s, Kent or Brightwell works well. I should be testing it but I never have with iodine. I dose it for a couple main reasons. The first being that it aids with coral bleaching. The second is that it assists inverts with exoskeletons like crabs, lobster and shrimp with their molting as they grow.
