Start a new thread and post some picture of your tank setup, this will let expert here to have a better view and advise you better. And it will be good if you state your water parameters.

Same to you bro, possible a full tank shots will help as well.
First guess is your water quailty having some problem. you might want to do slight water change, but your 1.5ft tank is kind of small for CRS, best by expert is 2ft tank. do consider to upgrade it.

any update of this piece?

IMHO, this CRS has poor golden shrimp genes in it, so the body (the actual meat) has an orange/pink tint to it. When the shrimp is stressed, the white color of the shell decreases and the orange/pink color of the body becomes more obvious.
The older and larger the shrimp, the more obvious the orange/pink tint is from my observations
