One of the male Artemia from my Buki Mine Monsters kit has something black attached to his modified antenna claspers used in breeding (I like to call them "antlers"). I believe this is a fungal infection. I have been contacted by others seeing the same issue with their pet brineshrimp in the past and have been unable to provide a solution, so i thought I would try to help this guy out with some basic "surgery" using tweezers. You can see that I had some success, I managed to remove some but not all of of the black bit, compared to the video I took before the operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63tEIQz9HU8 . You can see the the black part I removed at the bottom of the jar, I think the black part is just an old piece of exoskeleton from a bad shed, so hopefully he will be able to remove the rest himself. thetriopsforum.com/topic/11059450/1/
