Can anyone please help me identify what is wrong with my Sea Monkeys? (pics included)

So I have noticed a few of my sea monkeys lately with this on them (towards the back), it looks like some sort of orange/brown bacterial fungus that is coming off of them but I am not entirely sure. There have been more and more dying each day and/or lying at the very bottom of the tank and I am unsure on what is wrong and what I can do to help. I had live plants in the tank with I have now removed.
Any advice would be fantastic, thanks in advance!
I know the pictures aren't very clear so i'll try to get some more!

Those are eggs. There is a generation change going on. Artemia live for only a short time, reproduce and die.

Sea monkeys can live for two years if properly cared for so im wondering if they are moulting which they do every few months

The creatures are dying. I was wondering about the salt content in the water. How is it possible to consider having live plants in the tank to only be removed recently?

Are you doing any water changes Celestisllvy .

I am following this thread with interest for my own adult brine shrimp tank.

I am on the other hand wondering what live plants can survive in water with the necessary salt concentration.
