It's quite common to such worms which attach itself on the head or under caraspace, half of the worms sticking out on wild caught shrimps.

How did you remove it?

Used to have this prob, try to needle out (sound doc! Probaby need to put under microscope to do such operation, hand shaking then eyeballs super stress). In the end intro 1 or 2 guppies fry, settle.
