Can anyone tell me what is on my cleaner shrimp? I just noticed this today. It wasn't on him yesterday? Nothing else in the tank has this one them.

Do you mean the legs? Because those are legs.

Not the legs. Look at the brown speckles.

Are those on the carapace or do they show through from the inside? It could just be whatever's situated in its digestive tract.

Black spot disease. Will usually go away with the next molt.
