Peppermint shrimp black spots disease?

[saha99]

So i noticed these black spots on my peppermint shrimp this morning, should i be worried? Water parameters are on point really, im running a 6G pico tank with 2 juvenile clowns and several soft corals

Black spot disease. Caused by bacteria. Maintain high water quality and should go away after several molts.

Guys the shrimp isnt doing better, lately it began loosing its orientation completely, bumping into everything inside the tank, and has turned a bit white, anyone suggests what i should do?

Sounds like it’s getting ready to molt.

HELP its lying upside down like a dead coackroach, found it nearly killed by my hermit crab, i isolated it and its still moving its feet what should i do??? Its upside down

I’m sorry, it’s probably dying, easy target for the crab. Or if it was trying to molt and the crab got to it. Either way stress during molt can cause molt failure = death. Let’s see what others say though.
