Why is shrimp green?

[towboater68]

I have a shrimp that has green on him. Sometimes it's almost blue. He seems healthy but I've never seen this. Ok?

He ate something green.

Any real answers? It's on him, not in him and sometimes it's blue.

Most all coral banded shrimp have that slight green mid section. Your's does seem to be more green then others. Take a look at them on google images.
