this was caught with my "Siberian Prawns" about 2 months ago and its in its own tank. it developed a red orange nose... any idea what it is. i don't think it had it before or maybe i just didn't notice it until now. but the rest of the Siberian prawns don't have it so far, its just him
i think this might have been him a while back but not sure if it is

Does the orange mass appear threadlike or seem to move? It could be a nematomorph parasite of arthropods.

Rostrum appears damaged. Maybe a bacterium that is consuming chitin or soft inside rostrum is imparting color change not unlike what happens when a cooked egg white becomes white.
