There isn't a whole lot out there as they don't get alot of common diseases. One ailment which they do seem to get is white body disease. Are you having a problem in one of your tanks?
ya one has red spots on it.

What type of shrimp is it?
Dark Green Caridina. She has had them for a while now, and doesn't act sick. And its not the red coloring they get, its like little red growths of some kind, its hard to explain. Imagine small red sprinkles on your dark green icecream. One of her tail fins is missing and there is a larger sprinkle there. But she acts fine. Maybe like 5 dots total on her. I tried to take a pic, but my cam wont get that detailed.

Is it flat or furry? I have noticed some of my dark greens have a few brown speckles.

There have been a few cases of fungus in shrimp, this is usually characterized by a very obvious green fuzzy area under the swimmerettes or on the body. Here is a thread: http://www.petshrimp.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3007&p=27688&hilit=cardinal+shrimp+with+fungus#p27688
