Default white and red worm?

I got about 5-6 yellow shrimps from someone about 1 week ago.
So I put them with my other yellow shrimps and tigers.
After 1 week later, I hardly seeing my baby shrimps and I saw 1 dead tiger and 1 dead yellow this morning...
What I saw on some shrimps were small white? and red? worms inside the shrimps...
I think it came from those 5 yellow shrimps...
They did look sick.
It looked like worm infection that cause them to death...
So I had to remove some shrimps that didn't have worms to other tank and now I having about 4 yellows and 4-5 tigers with worms...
They do look ok but, soon or later they might die...
I took few shrimps and try to take out worms with my tweezer but they are so small and I couldn't see the worms unless if they are in the water.
But, I manage to save 2 shrimps taking out worm.
Other shrimps, I think they have to go before they cause more worm infection...
Anyone had this problem?
