Cleaner Shrimp

My cleaner shrimp has black spots on him? Any ideas to what it is. The shrimp itself is acting normal. I did not see any remains from molting in a few weeks. I wonder if they'll come off then...
any ideas of what the black spots are?

Wait for the next molt. If the spots come off it's probably just some accumulated debris. If it doesn't come off it could be a parasite and there's nothing you can do about it. Some aprasites are fatal and some are benign. I'll hope for the benign for you :)

I asked the same question a few days ago and was advised that it is normal and usually goes away with next skin shed.
