Some sort of parasite is my guess. My shrimp colony live with Scutariella Japonica. It can be removed using salt dips, but with the number of shrimp I have, it's impossible to do in my tank. Your shrimp's parasite does look a tad different, though. I would fish them out and do a salt dip to see if it comes off.
I could use some help in identifying what this shrimp has attached to its antennula. I assume some type of parasite or worm?
