I've noticed these white/clear worm like things under the head of the cherry shrimp. I don't know if they are a parasites, or if they are just part of the cherry shrimps anatomy. Can someone help me? I don't want to salt dip them if it's only a part of its body, but it looks like a parasite to me. Not all of them have it, or it could be a thing that grows out as they get older? Here are pictures I have taken, I've even put black arrows to point out the spot I am talking about.

1) Tank Size - 30 gallons - 9 shrimp
2)Temp - 75F-76F
3)Heavily planted with miniature dwarf hairgrass and ludwigia
4)PH of 7
5) Weekly water changes of 25%
6) I have my lights turned on for 10 hours of the day
7) I put nutrient tabs in the soil and liquid fertilizer
8) I feed them every other day 2 sinking pellets. They eat a lot of algae from the glass and biofilm.
