Yes, prawns do molt as part of their growth process. They shed their exoskeleton to allow for the development of a larger one, which is essential since their hard outer shell does not expand. This process, known as ecdysis, typically occurs several times during their life cycle, especially during juvenile stages. After molting, prawns are temporarily soft and vulnerable until their new exoskeleton hardens.
