Shrimp help

[Soph-1689]

So I just looked in my tank and my coral banded shrimp has turned brown. What does this mean? Is he molting, is he dying, is he sick? There is algae in the tank that I need to clean I will do that today. Could Dino algae affect my shrimp? He’s also kinda of sitting under the tank heater.

How long have you had him? Has he malted before, if so, when was the last time he malted?

I’ve had him for 4 months I believe and yes he has molted before, but I can remember exactly the last time he molted but I’m gonna guess that it was 2 and half weeks ago by now?

Generally they Malt right after acclimation, and then monthly after that (or when stressed). How is he?

He’s molted! It must’ve been some of the Dino that got on his skeleton I will remove the shell right away and the algae
