Weird i only see that happen on one of my sick FR. I told it out and put in another small container until it molt which i see the feeler like grow back. But still 1 side long 1 side short. Might be disease that attack it better take it out. By the way how long u kept your sulawesi??? They need high temp not cold temp. 22 to low for them.

22C should be too cold for sulawesi shrimp.

22C for tiger,crs,bds,bee,sakura,fire red cherry etc. But cherry and sakura u got to acclimatize them into that cold temp. My cherry didn't make it in the tiger tank when i set it at 22c they start dying so now i adjust back to 23c.

Sulawesi shrimps also need a higher ph. Keep that in mind.
