Cleaner shrimp doesn't move from it's spot, even when offered food
 
Hi everyone,
Seeing a really strange behavior of my cleaner shrimp. He sits near my torch coral, with most of its legs right on top of it, and it hasn't moved off its perch there for 2 days. Occasionally, it fans all of its on its abdomen (?)....is this normal? I've had cleaner shrimps for a while and I've never seen any of them do this before. It thought it might be molting but they don't usually molt out in the open...anyone have any insights?
Thanks!

Preggers, but just a guess.

I had a blood shrimp do this last week or so. Had to hand feed it. Never moved for a well I guess. Then one morning it was a glob of jelly

@Titus99 you mean it died?

Yeah. The shell was there but when I pulled out what I thought was molted shell the insides came out in a blob of clear jelly
