I agree. It's not the shrimp that need QTing, it's the water if that water also contained fish within the last 6 weeks.

Then there's the lifelong question of CAN A CLEANER SHRIMP CLEAN ITSELF? HAHA, just kidding. They can come in with some bacterial infections every now and then, just doesn't happen to often.
