I found this reference:
Seachem reef iodine: Some say it helps the shrimp molt and they need it. Others say it does absolutely nothing. All I know is that the bottle is 10 bucks, and the dosage that is recommended by the people that say it’s needed is negligible. It’s not going to do any harm, and a ten dollar bottle is going to last infinitely , so “Why not?” I say. I add a little squirt into the water change water.
PG: Red Cherry Shrimp - - not just for the barbie anymore - PlantGeek.net
Sounds to me like it's akin to putting salt in a freshwater tank. Some swear by a little salt, most don't.
Here's another reference:
I DO NOT dose liquid iodine as the shrimp will get all they need from a proper diet.
