you need to always keep cleaner shrimp in pairs so they can clean each other. your shrimp's dark spots are a sign that he needs to be cleaned. add another cleaner and those spots will get cleaned up.

good luck

Hahaha, are you serious? It actually may be a sign that he is close to molting. It will probably go away with his next molt.
