I bought saltwater ghost shrimp online to feed my new baby dwarf lion. Some of the ghost shrimp have what looks like a parasite. I can’t ID. Does anyone know what this is & will it hurt my fish after eating the shrimp?

Just identified it. It is a parasitic isopod. If my fish eat a shrimp with one of these will it just be digested or will it hurt my fish?
 
I have 2 cleaner shrimp in my other tank. I will have to put them to work. Thanks.
