my shrimp turned white!

[sugalips124]

I believe it was a ghost shrimp but I'm not sure what happened here

Chances are he is molting, and if he's not molting he may be ill.

Does it seem to be arching its tail into a loop? Generally a sign of trying to molt.

Yeah that's prolly what its doing then cause the arms are still moving around a lot but defiantly seemed weird to me

I had one look just like that and after some time he passed....searched and it was said they turn white when they are old and OR ill... Google "ghost shrimp turning white" there are many who have experienced it and the end result was the same as mine....
