Hello fellow reefers

Around 3 days ago my fire shrimp had molted "this was roughly his 3rd or 4th molt" but this time I was surprised to find that my fire shrimp was a light shade a pink with his spots still in the same place. It definitely looked a quite a bit bigger than it was from the last molt. It looks like he might be regaining some of his color as the top of his head looks to be his normal shade.

Is this normal?

My Red Coral Banded Shrimp seems to vary a bit in color each time it molts. After a few days the color seems to even out over its body. But I have noticed that with each molt the color is getting deeper, brighter and much better looking than when I first got it from LA.
