Algae growing on shrimp

[Antonchann]

Hi there's algae on my sakura shrimps but they are perfectly healthy and active. Will the algae cause any problems?

If the algae is growing on the shell, it will be cast off when the shrimp molts, so I don't think there's an issue, unless the algae prevents the shrimp from feeding or mating properly.

Oh ic.. I'm pretty sure it's algae cause its green and other shrimps feed on it sometimes. Been alive and well for 5 months already so don't think it's unhealthy or anything. The amount of algae on its shell tends to become lesser then it'll grow back again. Pretty cool actually. Yup will try to take a nice pic. Thanks for your inputs!
