odd sighting in pep shrimp

[CBMullen]

I was just looking at my shrimp when they came out after lights off and I noticed on the backs of three of my pep's there are appear to be tons of yellow round balls that are tiny throughout the interior of the shell of the shrimp/ the balls are mostly on the inside of the shrimp but have noticed several under the body of the shrimp while standing still. Is this spawing or something I need to worry about?

Without a photo is hard to tell, but it sounds like a parasite that I have seen several times before, it is quite common but it doesn't seem to hurt the shrimp as far as lifespan, they can live for years with them. They also do not reproduce in tanks so you don't have to worry about them spreading to other shrimp.

Thanks for the response. As long as they arent going to affect corals in my tank I will leave them be.
