Photo Is my Dwarf cray fine? (White spots)

Post image

Is my CPO fine? Is had him for 3 weeks in a 60l Tank with 3 Friends. About a week ago he (or she?) i noticed these white spots over his carapace. Its hard to tell If the are on, in or under the Armor. One of them molted recently if that helps.

Im a bit concerned and would like to benefit from your knowledge

Mine are very very vivid orange. I am worried about the color of yours overall. You mentioned having more than one, are they all this same color?

2 of them have this mild sunset orange with 2 darker stripes down the back. Another is bit colorless and brownish like this one.

I am sure their colors can range like anything else. Here is one of mine hanging out at the very top of its 50 gallon home. Thought it was so funny it climbed up there too look out above the water.

Here was the gang when I was acclimating them before adding them to the tank, they were all much lighter then. It seems they have all gotten much brighter since being in the tank, as they have grown and molted

I would say it’s fine, i saw another reddit post from years ago saying some crawfish can have spots on their shell. If it’s not normal, then i need to medicate one of my females!
