my 2 cleaner shrimps molted close to 3 times in 2 weeks since being newly introduced to my tank.. but i've noticed that both after molting the 2nd time, has feelers that seemed like being cut off.

my 1st one had 2 out of 6 feelers shortened.

2nd one had 4 out of 6 feelers shortened.. is it normal? how can i encourage it to grow back?

quite normal really, they will grow back quick enough, it is quite a common thing for skunk cleaners to have shorter feelers after a molt..by the time they come to molt again, they should be back to their usual length...
