red nose rhino shrimp help

[shellyx]

Hi i have just received four of these guys today they were shipped overnight. My worry is there body is suppose to be clear but it's slightly white? I'm hoping it's due to stress with the shipping but I'm worried that they're ill. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Anyone have any idea? I'm hoping they're just stressed.

I'm sure it is just stress. I ordered shrimp before and when they arrived they were not even close to the color they were suppose to be. Once they get comfortable in the tank I'm sure they will return to normal

I remember reading on some websites ..I linked 2 below ... that milky white Rhino nosed shrimp are sick, the females will stop producing eggs and and will eventually die. It doesn't state that stress turns them white, just illness. Hopefully, in your case it is just stress and they'll become transparent as they better acclimate.

That's what I read, I'm just hoping it's stress they're water was freezing. That's the problem when i couldn't get to view them. Thanks for your help
