why does my shrimp have these black marks all over?

I don't know this, but since fish can get marks like that from corals, I wonder if shrimp can also. They're so nosey I'm sure they get stung.

Yes it is a disease.
Non treatable I'm afraid.
They can usually live with it for awhile, But the fact that your's is coverd in the black spots.
Probably means his days's are short.
