Is this Holtodrilus truncatus?

Sorry - I seem to be full of questions…
I’ve posted this in invertebrates but might get more traffic here.
3 of my shrimp have these patches on their back, under the shells.
Are they Holtodrilus truncatus? They’re in identical places in each shrimp, which is odd.
Or is it the cucumber I fed them yesterday? I really hope so…

Ok - so I’ve tracked down online that it’s probably the saddle of my females!

You do seem to take a 'glass half empty but what there is is full of parasites' approach.

I really do. I don’t like the thought that anything could be compromising the health of my beings and my mind immediately goes there!

In this case, though, I did have a shrimp with a massive worm sticking out of its head a week ago so my glass half empty was a calculated glass full of parasites
