dirty cleaner shrimp?

[mastertech]

sorry no pic. but a friend of mine has a little bio-cube and his cleaner shrimp has what seems to be algae growing on his antennae. he tries to clean it off all the time but nothing seems to be working.... anyone seen that? what is it? (duh.... algae?)

HI mastertech,
We have 2 Cleaner shrimp. Our expereiance is when they are getting ready to shed they stop cleaning themselfs. I would give it a day and see if it sheds. Hope this helps
