Details:
This shrimp has looked like this since I noticed it at the juvenile stage. It hasn't changed in any notable way since I first discovered it, a few weeks-month ago. It doesn't exhibit any abnormal behavior as far as I can tell. It spends most of it's time grazing and swims/moves without any apparent issue.
When I look at it really closely the area seems to be confined to the body only, and honestly seems to have the color/texture of a female saddle but occupies the majority of the body.
There is no external component/nothing on the shell or swimmerets.
