I bought a cleaner shrimp and didn't realize it had an isopod on it until I got home. I looked it up and found many mixed answers as to whether to remove it and looked up some videos and it looked easy enough so I tried it. I got under it but couldn't get it out and I think the carapace got punctured. He went into shock and stayed upside down for awhile but then righted himself. And it's now clinging to a heater I had in the acclimation pot. I've seen him grooming but he's not moving much. In the pot he has a heater, an air stone, and filter media from my display tank. I'm not sure whether to leave him in the pot for now or move him into a breeder box in the DT. I have no other shrimp so I'm not worried about it spreading. I'm sure he'll probably die but I want to give him the best chance. I'm worried about evaporation and salt creep from the air stone messing with the salinity too much of I leave him but I'm worried about excess stress if I move him. What do I do?

This was before attempting the surgery

I moved him, I guess we'll see how he is in the morning
 
3am (to me) was a tough time for that to happen.

Fingers crossed the shrimp makes it.

Just as an update, he ended up dying, it was not as easy as all of the videos I found made it look. I think I should have just left it be but too little too late

Yeah it happened earlier and I just thought he was going to recover based on the improvements but he ended up passing. I didn't know to watch out for that but I will always be inspecting shrimp before buying now
