Parasite query - yellow cherry shrimp

Post by Chelo22 »

Hey everyone, slightly new Shrimp hobby-girl here.
I've so far identified when my shrimp have become male or female as they grow up. I've also identified when a female shrimp becomes berried and carried her fertilised eggs under her swimmerets until they hatch.
But a new mystery has popped up in my tank.
So far its only affecting my males, it looks like white squiggle almost egg shaped things developing in the middle part of the shrimp. Its definitely not on the top of them where a saddle would be, and its definitely not below them - where berried shrimp hold their eggs.
Does anyone know what I'm dealing with?
Greatly appreciate the feedback and help :-).
Please see attached photos.
