Help!-weird green colouration on cherry shrimp

[Willbacon23]

Hello, today cherry shrimp I ordered online arrived and I noticed a green colouration as seen below. I am wondering if this is a fungal infection and whether or not it is safe to add these cherry shrimp into my community tank. One of the cherry shrimp is berried and their eggs look perfectly fine.

I don't see it...

It could be unfertilized eggs.

I think that’s it it’s not feathery as mentioned which is fungus its more a slight green tinge. I didn’t know if that’s normal

Will you please try to get a different picture of it? I cant really see what you're talking about...

It’s the bottom shrimp in the picture- the greenness around the head

I looked at the picture and I see nothing wrong. I have never heard of a fungal infection, in a shrimp. I say go ahead and put them in the tank and watch them for a few days.

That’s normal, it’s the shrimpies insides. As he is a low grade little guy he’s more transparent and their organs etc show more
