Apologies for the not so great photos, it’s hard to catch this guy as he is quite active and my photography skills aren’t great. I am wondering if my cleaner shrimp has some sort of bacteria/ fungal issue or something due its very dark organs. I know you are meant to see the organs however they look extremely dark compared to other photos I have seen online and also looks darker than the photos I took. Maybe it’s just nothing as it is very active and eats a lot. I also fed reef prime flakes which I guess may make its belly darker as it is a red coloured food.

If he’s acting and eating fine, I wouldn’t overly worry about it. I have banded coral shrimp that has a blue spot unlike any I’ve ever seen. 🤷🏻‍♂️
