Don't think I've seen algae on a shrimp before. Neat shots!

I'm not going to critique you because I'm still learning myself.

maybe your water is too soft - check it, if it is so than your shrimp probably havent changed its skin for a long time. ad some KH/GH booster or shrimp minerals into the water to help your shrimpo build a new skin (they do change them the whole life long )

LOL, that's a good one.

Certainly a unique shot of your shrimp. It must have had its skin for a few days to grow such an algae tan, or maybe your tank is algae infested?

In anycase, definitely enjoyed the shot!
