Cleaner shrimp bubble

[YNWA97]

I have been looking up what this could possibly be, it is a perfectly clear bubble with nothing inside it so I don’t think Isopod? I took him out to feel the bubble and it is hard like molt tissue. Any ideas? Or should I just let him be.
Thanks

Yes just got him a few hours ago, I didn’t notice it in the store but once I got home I saw it after about an hour

Also probably important to note that hes acting normal, scavenging rocks etc

It might be a parasitic isopod.

Yeah I watched this video and did what was instructed, however the bubble is hard shell like and has nothing inside.

I wouldn't worry about it, it doesn't appear to be a parasite and the shrimp doesn't appear affected.
Will probably fix itself next molt.

Okay perfect I will keep an eye on him incase and reach out to LFS, possibly they removed a parasite and he is healing up, strange. Thank you for the help.
