I fear that one of my tank's shrimp is dying. I found one dead yesterday, and more seems to be on the way soon. The ones that I think are on heir way, have white spots on their tails. The spots are internal, looks like they are the muscles that control their swimmers. I see that a few have the spots in them. Is this White Spot Disease? What is this, and what can I d oto save them?

These are Yellow Shrimp.

It's actually pretty dangerous to treat white spot disease. you'll lose 5~20% of the population treating them with each treatment. Basically a 4~5% iodine dip for ~10min daily till gone.. it's probably easier to start with new stock after leaving it fallow for a while
